An Australian YouTuber managed to get the best seat in the house at UFC 284 - all for free.
An Australian YouTuber managed to get the best seat in the house at UFC 284 - all for free.
Thousands upon thousands of fans spent a whole lot of money to be in attendance at the Perth UFC event.
Tickets for the event sold in record time, and so, according to one YouTuber, the only way to watch perhaps the biggest UFC main event in recent memory was to sneak in.
YouTuber Mikey T turned up at RAC Arena without a ticket but with a camera, lanyard, and a homemade UFC polo.

He posed as a videographer with UFC credentials and uniform - and well, the disguise worked.
In the video, posted on YouTube he documents his adventure, going from filming punters as they walked into the event to actually sneaking past security who approve of his credentials.
In fact, he seemingly breezes past security.
Not content with just getting into the event for free, Mikey T proceeds to have the UFC experience of a lifetime.
He proceeds to walk into the UFC press conference room as fighter James Mullarkey is mid-interview.
The Aussie then manages to sneak his way onto the floor right next to the Octagon, without anyone batting an eye.
He literally sits cage side and pretends to take photos of the fighters in front of him - wild.
Mikey T then spots KSI, Logan Paul, and IMPAULSIVE co-host Mike Majilak.
He heads over to Majilak and lets him in on the ruse, to which Mike promises ‘not to snitch’ on the Australian.
As if the content he’d gotten so far wasn’t enough, he decided it was time to head backstage and be involved in perhaps the most anticipated walkout in Australian MMA history.
He finds the featherweight champion himself, Alex Volkanovski preparing backstage as Mikey pretends to take film of his preparations.
And as ‘Down Under’ plays to signal Volk's walkout, Mikey T decided to join him on the journey to the Octagon, while filming the whole thing.
The YouTuber literally rubs shoulders with the likes of the Australian and legendary announcer Bruce Buffer.
According to The West, RAC Arena management said they took security seriously but weren’t aware of the incident.
