Jake Paul ‘illegally’ infiltrated UFC 306 Noche PPV event in disguise despite being banned from further events by UFC CEO Dana White.
At the beginning of this year, Sean O’Malley and Jake Paul took their friendship to a new level. They have gone into business together to create “W”, the men’s fragrance company. Now, the lifelong cruiserweight influencer-boxer has been keen to be part of the UFC 306 Pay-per-view ‘Suga Show’ title fight. The only deterrent in his way – Dana White.
But when has that ever stopped ‘Problem Child’ from being problematic? He and UFC CEO Dana White have a long-running feud and admittedly don’t get along. According to Paul, he was barred from UFC events due to their strained relationship. This came after a brief skirmish with UFC competition veteran and commentator Daniel Cormier at UFC 261. However, Paul had a way out.
I’m about to sneak into the Sphere, [Video intro]…Two years ago, I was banned from all UFC events by Dana White… But since my best buddy Sean O’Malley was fighting for a world championship, I had to be there. [Continues] But if I’m gonna illegally sneak in, I need a disguise and a good one…Jake Paul via IG reels (@jakepaul)
Disdain for Paul and his culture of influencer crossovers has only grown. The UFC 306 Noche PPV has the Saudi GEA and Turki Alalshikh’s backing. His excellency even recently dissed his DAZN Pay-per-view win. Alalshikh was ringside for the double-branded Riyadh Season Noche event of the night. Despite a lengthy suspension, Jake Paul wanted to make sure he was at UFC 306 to witness history. He managed to do so by dressing up and sneaking in.
The video shows Paul kitting up on long ginger hair and a beard. Dad-bod Paul managed to get past security and expressed his disbelief as he said: “I can’t believe this is working.” He even caught glimpses of Dana White and most recent callout Alex Pereira. As such, the matter has gone quite viral.
If there’s anything the Ohio-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 internet sensation and now boxer has proved, is that Paul never shies from a challenge. Sure, he goes around with an entourage ever since his ‘Gotcha Hat’ stunt on Floyd Mayweather. But it’s not for the lack of trying.

Jake Paul may often face flak for maintaining a clear line of opposition of MMA washouts, but he doesn’t back away. He recently accepted a $25,000 bet from popular content-creator-turned-boxing bettor, Vee Vaynerchuk. This was to race Darren “IShowSpeed” in an impromptu 40-yard dash. He also calls on the biggest of challenges for the sake of challenge, popularity, and business.
If there was ever a doubt about that, look to him facing consensus HW icon Mike Tyson next in a pro-sanction heavyweight bout. That fight is to be contested across a total of eight two-minute rounds at AT&T Stadium. With a long-time ban by White, Jake Paul took up his next hill – UFC 306 aka the annual Noche event. Here are a few reactions to him illegally entering.

In what looks like a hybrid second coming of Big Lebowski or something like Mike Wazowski, Paul with his dad bod and false hairline consequently worked the charm. Additionally, the 27-year-old even bumped into fellow content creators Adin Ross and Mike Majlak in the arena. With neither even realizing it was Paul in disguise.
Moreover, like it or not, most fans agree that the boxer can be really funny for content sometimes. Like fearing risking jail, and contrarily uploading the content anyway. A prominent reaction (@WhatsALegKick) even quipped at his incognito setups saying “Dana gonna be heated 😂”. As such, White might just blast off in a rage after this.
