It is no secret that the UFC had some admirers in high places, including some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
Even back at events such as UFC 60 in 2006, stars have been present when the Octagon is in the city.
Whether it is about taking roles as Dwayne Johnson has done for 'The Smashing Machine' or to stay in shape, there are some celebrities who also do in a training.
An undefeated UFC prospect, which moved to 9-0 earlier this year, had the pleasure of coming up with two of the largest actors in the world at the same time.

Lone'er Kavanagh remembers the time that he trained with both Tom Hardy and Tom Holland at the same time
In the first episode of Corner Couch On Fightfront, Lone'er Kavanagh spoke about his experience with training with Tom Hardy and Tom Holland.
The unbeaten flight weight said, while he was sitting next to his teammate Nathaniel Wood and coach Brad Pickett, that Jiu-Jitsu trains on a fairly regular basis, is a strange experience on a strange experience despite the actor's star status.
“It's just normal, he is just a normal geezer.”
Hardy has been a fan and participant for some time and the same can be said for Tom Holland, who has also stepped into the gym and has been present for various large UFC events.
Kavanagh said that although he has tapped Hardy in the past, he more than is more than able to keep his own on the ground before told the story of the time he was on the mats with both Hardy and Holland at the same time.
“I did it, but he is actually good. He is strong too. I had one thing, I once trained with him and Tom Holland, so I had Spider-Man and Venom in the same room and that was once when I was asking me five years ago …”
Kavanagh added that it is only when he sees his colleague Jiu-Jitsu practitioner in the spotlight that he remembers that Hardy is a big star.
“I forget who he is. When you see him on TV, you are:” Oh yes f – he is famous. “
Lone'er Kavanagh remembers that he was somewhat struck when he first met Tom Holland
While his teammate Nathaniel Wood has a somewhat disappointing memory of meeting one of his heroes after he bumped into a drunk Ricky Hatton in Tenerife, the same cannot be said for Lone'er Kavanagh.
He said it was a somewhat strange experience to let Tom Holland imagine when they first met for the first time.
Kavanagh was selected as one to watch with many when he was announced for the Contender Series of Dana White, where he produced an impressive version to earn his UFC contract.
It was clear that Tom Hardy felt the same thing after he had passed on the news to Holland.
“When I met him, he said,” Oh yes, Tom told me that in Dana White's Contender Series Blah Blah, my name is Tom, “Kavanagh recalled. “I had something like that, he said that to me and I looked like a bit,” You're Spider-Man. ” … he just wanted to roll once. “
