A fight-night melee broke out in Kilkenny, Ireland, after influencer Mohammad Kubba — known as Mo Deen — jumped from the ring toward British activist Tommy Robinson, according to reporting cited from the Guardian and the Irish Times and widely shared video.

Arrests and injuries reported

The Irish Times reported that two people were arrested and one person was injured badly enough to receive treatment at the venue and then be taken to a hospital. Video shared on X appeared to show Kubba vault from the ring toward Robinson, who was seated at the front, before bystanders intervened.

‘Scripted’ claim from the fighter

From his dressing room after the incident, Kubba said on video that the confrontation was like “WWE” and that he was “following the scripts.” He also claimed Robinson had agreed to it. These are Kubba’s allegations; Robinson has not confirmed them.

Promoter’s moves and a second clash

According to the Guardian, after security calmed the first scuffle, event organizer Harrison Sullivan (known as HSTikkyTokky) invited Robinson into the ring and brought Kubba back, writing that it appeared Sullivan wanted an unscheduled bareknuckle fight. Before any bout began, Robinson threw a book toward Kubba, and the Irish Times reported that a second mass brawl forced the event’s cancellation.

What authorities and organizers said

The Guardian reported there was “no suggestion the riot was pre-planned.” The outlet also noted Sullivan later posted that more security should have been hired and called the night “super viral.”

Context on Robinson

The Guardian reported Robinson attended while free after an October conviction for harassing two Daily Mail journalists; he is due for sentencing on December 16 and faces up to 10 years in prison, according to that report.

What we don’t know

Whether the initial lunge and subsequent clashes were staged remains unconfirmed. Details on the arrested individuals were not provided in the reports cited, and the authenticity of the circulating clips has not been independently verified here.
