Jorge Masvidal was held back by security after being embroiled in a heated altercation with Kevin Holland at UFC 287.
'Gamebred' will return to the octagon this weekend in his hometown Miami where he faces a hugely significant showdown with Gilbert Burns. Masvidal needs a win to halt his run of three consecutive defeats, with a victory likely to see him try and force one final hoorah at 170lb and a title fight with Leon Edwards.
The stakes have been high during fight week with Masvidal insisting he will look to retire if he loses to Burns given he will find himself well away from the title picture. And tensions have been raised higher for the 170lb contender who bumped into fellow challenger Holland backstage at the fight-week media day.
