UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping and welterweight fighter Jorge Masvidal are both competing this weekend at UFC 217.
However, while they are fighting separate opponents at that event, the fighters nearly got into it today in a hotel.
Video of the incident was captured by Abraham Kawa and it was posted on Instagram, but the MMA manager has since deleted the video.
UFC Insiders has a copy of the video and they posted it on Twitter:

The two competitors have been going back and forth on social media ever since Bisping ripped a miniature Cuban flag in front of Yoel Romero at UFC 213.
Back in July, the welterweight contender issued a warning to Bisping through Twitter:
Fuck #bitchping @bisping has every Cuban on him now. It's #hoslap on site. Keep your ass in LA don't come this way https://t.co/X4X0qEyzPa

Neither Bisping, Masvidal or the UFC have commented on the heated altercation.
UFC 217 takes place on Saturday, November 4 from Madison Square Garden in New York, New York with Michael Bisping and Georges St. Pierre headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
