Senior Victorian members of the gang are believed to have been present.
The Herald Sun has previously reported that Hasan Topal, the male model turned commander of the Comanchero bikie gang in Victoria, earned respect from fellow members during the fight.
Topal is believed to have showed he was prepared to risk his good looks for the gang, smashing a glass into his own forehead during a wild bar brawl.
