A heated moment occurred in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, as rapper and “vampire man” Machine Gun Kelly and Ultimate Fighting Championship powerhouse Sean Strickland nearly got into a physical altercation after Strickland didn’t like the way Kelly looked at him.
And he didn’t like the way Kelly was dressed.
In fact, it didn’t sound like Strickland likes much of anything about the man he called a “vampire.”
He posted a video of the incident on his X account:

The rapper known as “MGK” was introduced to Strickland for the first time during the Feb. 9 party being held for the UFC Power Slap event at the Durango Casino & Resort.
Strickland took to his personal YouTube channel to explain his account of the events.
He said of Kelly that he’d “met a vampire. Didn’t know they were real but they apparently are. I should have brought some garlic and a stake to that slap fight. I didn’t know I was in danger.”

The men were introduced by Australian snowboarder Luke Trembath, who is also known as “The Dingo.”
Strickland claimed Kelly looked at him like he was “less than human,” which led him wanting to “humble” MGK.
He explained that his girlfriend intervened, preventing the situation from escalating further before he was escorted out.
“I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to f***ing humble you right now. Then my girl got in the way and was like, ‘Chill the f**k out,’ and then I was escorted out,” he said.
As he was exiting the event, Strickland could be heard saying, “I’m easy to find, vampire man.”
After, he said he was in shock to discover Kelly and “Transformers” actress Megan Fox are an item.
Strickland then took to X to further unleash jabs at Kelly. In one post, that garnered 4.5 million views by Sunday morning, he mocked the couple’s relationship.
“I almost hit a vampire tonight… lol! They said his name is machine gun kelly.. How do you have a dope ass name and dress like a 13 goth south park character?!?” Strickland wrote on X. He even posted a meme of Fox alongside an image of “Michael,” a goth character from the animated sitcom “South Park.”

The mixed martial arts website MMA Fighting reported that Kelly was at the Las Vegas party as a guest of Dana White, president of UFC.
Asked about the incident at a news conference, White reacted to the confrontation by saying, “you can’t bring Sean Strickland around any other human beings. It’s like. You know what I mean? It has nothing to do with Machine Gun Kelly. It’s about humans.”

Later, Strickland appeared to echo what White said on his YouTube channel noting, “as Dana said, I shouldn’t be around humans.”
Apparently, this isn’t the first time Kelly has had a confrontation with an MMA fighter.
As Entertainment Tonight reported from the 2021 Video Music Awards, UFC legend Connor McGregor lunged at Kelly after they “exchanged some words.”
