He even threw a glass at the artist, who was accompanied by Megan Fox, his partner.
Paul, a YouTuber and boxer who has been calling out McGregor for a long time, is a friend to Machine Gun Kelly.
The 24-year-old guessed that the scuffle might have been misidentify.
On ESPN, he said: "Some people say Conor McGregor mistook me for him because we look almost the same, like blonde hair and a little taller.
"That was just like the rumour that occurred, I find it hilarious.
"Conor McGregor is an excellent fighter. Why is he on a red carpet throwing drinks at Megan Fox or Machine Gun Kelly?" It is just irresponsible.
Kells was professional and didn't get heated. He didn't retaliate, because he knew Conor looked stupid.
"This guy is in a state of disarray and desperately trying to get our attention."
McGregor, 33 years old, attended the awards wearing a cane to help him with his broken tibia that he sustained against Dustin Poirier (32), in July.
He has been training for his anticipated return next year, and even invited Machine Gun Kelly along to his comeback fight.
McGregor said to Adam's Apple, "It's all fine. Bring it on to the next fight.
They're more than [welcome] You can watch me at any time. No problem.
"Everyone is welcome to come to my fights or to the shows."
