It was a disappointing night for Conor McGregor fans, even the famous ones.
The great and the good were out for Nate Diaz’s second round submission of The Notorious in the MGM Grand.
And they don’t come greater or gooder than Gerard Butler Leonardo DiCaprio.
The recently crowned Best Actor was cageside in Vegas, along with One Direction star Niall Horan, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and the wild child of American football, Johnny Manziel.
In fact, Manziel made his first appearance on Twitter in two months in honour of the event.
