The plot to UFC 285 and the return of Jon Jones just couldn’t have been written better. The former Light Heavyweight champ coming back after a lengthy layoff, made light work of Ciryl Gane as he finished the Frenchman in just over two minutes to lay claim on the Heavyweight gold. And although ‘Bones’ making a comeback was definitely the headline, there were also a few aspects of the event that left fans talking, long after the curtains were drawn on the show.

The connection between MMA and Hollywood appears to have grown quite strong over the last few years; multiple superstars are regularly seen in attendance at UFC events. Thus, it was not surprising that UFC 285 too had quite a few of them present as well. Apart from the obvious Jake Gyllenhaal; fans also got the opportunity to see veteran actor Mark Wahlberg and musician Travis Barker among the crowd. Accompanying Barker was also his wife Kourtney Kardashian.

Following this, Wahlberg shared a post of himself with his teenage son Brendan, who was also beside him during the action.

The post, which was also shared by ‘People Parents’ on Facebook, drew a multitude of reactions from fans of the Hollywood actor. Many expressed their joy at seeing Wahlberg’s son, while a few also pointed out that it might be pretty cool to hang out with Travis Barker. The musician, incidentally, was seated right beside the Hollywood star during the event.
