The UFC 287 event ended with a knockout victory for Israel Adesanya over Alex Pereira in the main event. Youtuber-turned-wrestler Logan Paul was also in attendance for the occasion. However, his interaction with a fellow Youtuber and a PRIME squad member caught the public’s eye.

Paul who recently signed a new contract with WWE sat next to JiDion during the event. And the latter was live streaming from the arena. The Maverick was none too pleased and raised his displeasure about it.

He could be heard saying, “Would you two wanna switch seats with us? Just because we don’t feel like being live-streamed all night.” The two reconciled soon as they could be seen joking in the very next frame. Some would not be pleased by Paul’s comments but some will be a bit more understanding because he was there in the capacity of a fan.

Nevertheless, the WWE superstar’s words are bound to create a huge discussion on social media, given the fact that it was JiDion who Paul was asking to switch seats with would be surprising, especially after witnessing the two interacting previously.

And it would have been huge for JiDion to jump on the bandwagon in the initial part of the journey.

Spending a major part of one’s life in front of a camera is not an easy task. And Logan Paul does just that more so with his association with the Stamford-based promotion. He would have liked to remain out of the limelight and enjoy a great night of MMA fighting.

On the other hand, it’s difficult to point a finger at JiDion as well because he was also doing his job. In the end, fans of both would be glad that things ended on a good note and there were no ill feelings.
