Last night's UFC 285 was quite the stacked card, and the event's Madison Square Garden setting attracted quite the star-studded audience - amongst whom was a certain Logan Paul.

After Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich had done battle over the Interim UFC Heavyweight Championship - no spoilers here - the cameras, as is often the case, scanned the crowd and found some famous faces in the shape of former two-time UFC Heavyweight Champ Stipe Miocic, disgraced ex-president Donald Trump, and current WWE United States Champion Logan Paul.

Not just did Paul have his US Title over his shoulder, but he used his phone to give a shoutout to Dominik Mysterio. Well, "Dominick" Mysterio, but what's a typo between good friends. Of course, Logan and Dirty Dom have struck up a kayfabe friendship due to their common dislike of Dom's deadbeat dad Rey Mysterio; Rey being the man who Paul defeated at Crown Jewel last weekend to become the US Champion.

For WWE, opting to put the US Title on Logan Paul was clearly partly down to just how many eyes Paul will bring to the US Championship and WWE as a whole, with him essentially promoting the company with each subsequent appearance where he's seen with that title belt in his possession.
