He is said to even get inspiration from the fighters by examining their physical prowess and athletic capabilities.
4. Matt Damon

Shaq and UFC president Dana White have always been buddies, and the basketball star is a common celebrity Octagon-side for countless fights. In fact – and we couldn’t believe this – Shaq once told Dana White he would love to be involved in the UFC in some way, either in the Octagon or otherwise!
2. Mike Tyson

1. Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most famous people on the planet, and he is known for his strict privacy in terms of all the public appearances he makes. He is therefore not spotted in public very often. However, he has been seen at numerous UFC events, including when Nate Diaz defeated Conor McGregor at UFC 196! He can even be seen in some UFC video games, with EA Sports adding him to their game UFC 3!
