McGregor spilled some of his whisky and as a result threw the remaining whisky at MGK. <\/p>\n<p>McGregor quickly addressed the situation and said that he only fights real fighters and did not know who MGK was apart from the fact that he was going out with Megan Fox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Entertainment Tonight<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Gc62cZgABA?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>MMA Fans Go After McGregor <\/h2>\n<p>McGregor\u2019s face looked puffed as he if was suffering from a hangover.
