The stands at the Saints vs. Falcons on Sunday looked more like the inside of a UFC octagon… as several people got into violent fights.
One of the scariest ones happened near the top of Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium — when about four guys started fighting each other.
🚨🚨🚨WILD FIGHT 🚨🚨🚨
ONE #FALCONS Fans pulled A #SAINTS I TURNED DOWN THE FAN AND STARTED CRUSHING HIS HEAD REPEATEDLY, ALMOST KILLING THE MAN.
😳😳😳
Several women present were seriously injured due to the many fights that broke out.

Video of the scene captured by a bystander shows two men in a wrestling match in a few seats… a guy in a number 11 Falcons jersey was trying to beat up a guy in a red jersey just a few feet away.
Suddenly, the ATL fan kicked the man to the ground with such force that it appeared to knock him out. But the guy didn’t give up after the blow – you can see in the footage that he continued to brutally hit his opponent’s head over and over again.
Meanwhile, the other two men carried out their fight in a different row of seats – before the video cut out.
It’s unclear if there were any arrests or if anyone required medical attention – we’ve reached out to local authorities for comment but so far no response yet.

There was more action in the stands at a different part of the game too – when a shirtless man’s taunts at a guy in a tank top sparked a fight.
Video of that scene shows the two guys – plus another man – attacking each other for several moments… before others in the area mercifully restrained them.
As for the action on the field – all the combatants lost quite a game amid their bickering… when the Falcons got a last-second 58-yard field goal from Younghoe Koo to win, 26-24.
