Two Misfits fighters couldn’t wait until Saturday night before letting their hands go.
On Saturday night, the promotion is set to host one of their biggest events of the year in Manchester, England.
The main event in particular has had a tense build, with Darren Till and Luke Rockhold being separated at the press conference on Thursday.
There was one other competitor who was in attendance for the press conference who also looked to antagonize one half of the bridgerweight title fight headliner.
Dillon Danis and Rockhold reportedly got into a fight earlier today at the weigh-ins, which both men have now reacted to.

Dillon Danis and Luke Rockhold both share statements in reaction to their backstage brawl
Dillon Danis and Luke Rockhold verbally clashed at the pre-fight press conference on Thursday having trained together in the past.
Danis in particular made some scathing personal comments about the former UFC champion, sharing several posts and clips from their interactions on his Instagram story.
The controversial star also shared the initial report and images of their encounter backstage at the weigh-ins before both men reacted to the brawl.
In a post by MMA Junkie on Instagram, Danis claimed that “Luke Rockhold learned to never mess with a gangster.”
While Rockhold didn’t make reference to the images of him seemingly suffering a cut on his back in his post, he did respond to some of the comments that Danis had made at the press conference.
He wrote, “Ask Dillon Danis how his face feels” when sharing a clip from Thursday where the former grappling star had looked to get under his skin by bringing up one of his previous relationships.

Dillon Danis has named one of Luke Rockhold’s former teammates as his next target
While Dillon Danis will be making his long-awaited MMA return this Saturday against a newcomer in Warren Spencer, he has always targeted some of the biggest names in the sport.
The controversial star is clearly satisfied with what went down between him and Luke Rockhold earlier today having already announced his next target.
Danis has some history with the American Kickboxing Academy, or AKA, gym where Rockhold trained alongside the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Another legend from that gym, Daniel Cormier, was named in Danis’ latest post following the backstage encounter.
Danis had stated on fight week that he wanted to show the UFC, who he still hopes to fight for, that he could be reliable and professional.
