However, the incident’s authenticity has been widely questioned. A poll on X revealed that nearly two-thirds of over 1,100 respondents believed the video was staged, with fans and commentators labeling it “fake”.
Skepticism grew as MMA Fighting reported, citing a source close to the situation, that the event was actually a “skit”—a scripted stunt rather than a real robbery attempt.
