UFC President Dana White, Khabib Numagomedov, and Hollywood star Jared Leto
Both the pair acknowledged the cameras and were also photographed next to Dana White, president of UFC.
Oscar-winner Leto is an avid fight fan. He often attends UFC events, and was featured in July's headlines.
American performer, Conor McGregor, watched Dustin Poirier's three-round bout and was ridiculed for his attire.
Leto, 50 years old, wore a plunging blouse and neck scarf at UFC 264, which saw merciless trolling.
Five months later, the UFC 269 'Suicide Squad" villain took a seat in front of him and wore a bright orange hat.
After his transition into coaching, Nurmagomedov, 33 is often seen in cageside after he retired from MMA.

Khabib was defeated by Justin Gaethje in the final fight of his career without his father Abdulmanap. He died just months before.
Nurmagomedov made a promise to his mother that he would not return without his father and launched his own promotion.
Khabib, the Eagle Fighting Championship's head, is a high-profile promoter.
Sky Sports interviewed him and he said: "I just want the best. I'm not here for number three or two.
"I am here to be the best promoter in all of the world. We have a new system.
"We are going to change a few things, but not a lot. After a few years I think people will understand who is who."
