Mourinho is a huge fight fan and has been ringside for Anthony Joshua's boxing matches before.

He is currently in charge of Fenerbahce in Turkey but is believed to still own a house in London.

And Mourinho made a famous reference of his when asked for a prediction on Leon Edwards' main-event fight against Sean Brady.

He said: “I think if I speak, I’m in trouble!”

Also in attendance at the UFC was Tottenham forward Richarlison.

There is a rare week off from Premier League football amid the international break.

And Richarlison was not in Brazil's side that beat Colombia 2-1 in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.

Elsewhere, comedian Shane Gillis was all smiles from the crowd.
