The row purportedly began when a security guard at USJ One Condominium denied the man entry into the building without a pass, reports the New Straits Times.

In footage posted online, a bystander attempts to defuse the situation before the visitor, reportedly a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, attacks the on-duty guard.

While the man momentarily gains the upperhand in the brawl using his MMA skills, he is soon hauled to the floor by three other security guards, one of whom uses a baton to hit the attacker.
