Lack of Police presense
Locals complained about a lack of Police presence on the night as there had been a local football derby the same day and with both events, the area was much busier than normal and that there was also an aggressive atmosphere. Merseyside Police issed a statement disputing inadequate Policing.
The attack followed a mass brawl last month at another MMA event in Liverpool staged at The Great Georges Cultural Community Project, The Black E on March 4th 2017 when after a dispute about the use of elbows during a bout, a ring invasion proceeded and fighting broke out amongst the two corners and spectators. Bottles and chairs was used as missiles as the fighting spread which continued outside the event and two people were taken to hospital but are still refusing to co-operate with the Police
