- Fan footage shows the moment a young woman tried to storm the
UFC Octagon during a live event. - Security protecting the cage sent her flying as she encroached the restricted space.
An event security agent launched a female MMA fan into the void when she tried to invade the Octagon during the UFC 274 event that took place Saturday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
The series of events was captured on video, which starts as one fight fan who is positioned near the barrier vaults over the railing and then charges down the runway — much to the delight of fellow fans surrounding the camera operator.
The woman gets all the way to the Octagon and even mounts the canvas but is shoved with ease by the security protecting the fence.
UFC security said the incident "was swiftly dealt with and she was ejected from the arena," according to MMA Fighting which says it spoke to an official.
