Mourinho is a known MMA enthusiast and has previously attended Anthony Joshua`s boxing matches.

Currently managing Fenerbahce in Turkey, he is believed to still have a residence in London.

When asked to predict the outcome of the main event fight between Leon Edwards and Sean Brady, Mourinho famously quipped, “I think if I speak, I’m in trouble!”

Tottenham`s Richarlison was also among the audience at the UFC event.

Premier League football is on a break this week due to international matches.

Richarlison was not part of the Brazil squad that won 2-1 against Colombia in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.

Comedian Shane Gillis was also seen enjoying the event.

Gillis is currently touring the UK and has a show scheduled at the O2 Indigo the day after the UFC event.

WWE personality Drew McIntyre, once a rival to boxer Tyson Fury, was also seen in attendance.

Edwards, 33, was competing for the first time since his defeat to Belal Muhammad, 36, last July, where he lost his UFC welterweight title.

Originally set to face Jack Della Maddalena, 28, Edwards instead fought Brady, 32, who stepped in as a replacement.
