In a wild bar brawl, UFC fighter Michael Chandler and WWE legend Ric Flair got into a heated exchange, and it was all caught on video.
Chandler and Flair were seen arguing about who knows what when Chandler called the 74-year-old Flair a “cocky old man past his prime.”
Things escalated quickly, with Flair throwing a punch and Chandler responding with a slap before taking him down.

Some Combat Sports fans are now wondering if the whole brawl was staged for entertainment.
As of now, Flair is competing in the UFC Lightweight division, holding a record of 23 wins, 8 losses, and 0 draws.
He’s currently ranked fifth in the division, with his last fight taking place on November 12, 2022.
On the other hand, Ric Flair, a multiple-time WWE champion, officially retired from pro wrestling in July 2022.
With a career spanning over 50 years, he is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling.
