The recently concluded UFC 299 provided an enthralling show for the fans. However, the UFC cameras showcased that multiple noteworthy celebrities also graced the Kaseya Center to enjoy the event among other fans. UFC PPVs are no stranger to having noted celebrities in attendance. Even the famous ex-POTUS, Donald Trump, has been to multiple UFC PPVs to date. But fans might be loving the fact that he has appeared in several UFC PPVs now.
‘The Trump Organization’ head honcho takes a keen liking towards mixed martial arts and he even appreciated Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier’s UFC 299 co-main event KO victory over Benoit Saint-Denis. However, a plethora of celebrities from other fields also made their way into the Kaseya Center in Miami to enjoy the electric UFC 299.
The noted internet celebrities and boxers, Logan Paul and KSI, also became a part of the event alongside a lot of others. Here’s a list of the noted stars who graced UFC 299:
After registering a record gate of $13.75 million, the UFC 299 probably brought a smile to Dana White’s face as well. The known combat sports reporter, Aaron Bronsteter, revealed that the authorities made $14,142,904 as the total gross revenues from the event. His ‘X’ update also revealed that 19,165 fans attended the coveted third UFC PPV of this year.
However, alongside the stars, most fans may have witnessed that UFC PPVs are also graced by numerous noted fighters of the promotion. The UFC 299 also followed this tradition, as several current and former UFC stars were also in attendance at the Miami-based arena.
Which UFC stars were there at the UFC 299 venue?
UFC stars may have been gracing UFC PPV venues for a long time. But the scuffle witnessed between Sean Strickland and the current UFC middleweight champ, Dricus Du Plessis, at UFC 296 was probably a first-time incident.
