Video: Gunshots fired amid brawl in Florida MMA event

Florida has seemingly built a reputation as a state that thrives in some form of chaos. For starters, it’s a place where people flock in droves to celebrate spring break amid a full-blown global pandemic.

That unique brand of Florida craziness was also on full display during Saturday’s Rize Fighting Championship amateur MMA event at the Bamboo Room in Lake Worth Beach. The madness began when a group of audience members suddenly engaged in a brawl. People began shoving each other, letting wooden chairs fly.

Moments later, an unidentified man suddenly began firing gunshots in the air, causing people to scramble in panic.
