The MTV VMA's got off to a pretty interesting start last night as Conor McGregor and Machine Gun Kelly got into a heated exchange on the red carpet... before the show even started.

Speaking after the event, Conor McGregor said "Nothing happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean," he continued. "I certainly don't fight little vanilla boy rappers. I don't even know the guy. I don't know anything about him, except that he's with Megan Fox."
