THIS is the shocking moment a rowdy UFC fan had a chair thrown in his face during a boozy casino row after a Conor McGregor fight.

Footage shows the reveller shouting across the room at a group of people off camera.

His mates try in vain to calm him down and hold him back from the crowd as the situation escalates.

A couple other punters in the bar even hurl their beer in his face but he still doesn’t sit down.

Then out of nowhere a chair is thrown at the unruly drinker’s head, smashing him right in the face.

The row is believed to have erupted at the Victoria Gate Casino in Leeds after the McGregor fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov on October 7.

He’s completely knocked off his feet by the impact of the hefty wooden stool, which was said to make his lip “pop” open.

The 11-second clip has been viewed more than 194,000 times since it was shared on Twitter by Luca Joannides this morning.

The video was also shared on Reddit where a user in the comments claimed to be one of the people trying to make peace in the video.

The commentor, handsome_haddock wrote: “I’m actually the dude in the red shirt holding him back as he takes the chair right in the kisser.

“My pal (one who made-out with the chair) was having a war of words with a group of dudes about the result of the fight when the chair came flying out of nowhere.”

The account went on to claim that the guy being hit with the chair needed stitches and even had chipped teeth as a result of the assault.

They added: “All in all was a great spectacle. 5/7 would listen to his lip pop open again.”

A spokesman for the Victoria Gate Casino told the Sun Online: We can confirm there was an isolated incident at the casino on 7th October around 5.30am.

“Our security acted immediately and the male in question was escorted off the premises. VGC have a zero tolerance policy to violent behaviour in our casino.

“The safety of our staff and customers is of utmost priority.”
