MJF attends UFC 282.
MJF showed up to UFC 282 in Las Vegas and he had his Big Burberry Belt (AEW World Championship) with him. MJF sat cageside to watch Paddy Pimblett, who he's had a war of words with on social media, pick up a controversial decision victory over Jared Gordon.
Pimblett won by unanimous decision (29-28), but many watching and even the announcers through Gordon had won the fight.

Paddy lost that fight and you know it. #ufc282
The war of words between MJF and Paddy started on November 22 when MJF said Paddy's "dollar store Conor McGregor talking, Will from Stranger Things looking' ass wouldn't last two seconds in his world." McGregor would later get involved, backing Paddy and saying he didn't know who MJF was.
MJF is set to defend the AEW World Title and the Dynamite Diamond Ring against Ricky Starks at AEW Dynamite: Winter Is Coming. Fightful will have live coverage of the event beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
