MrBeast, on the other hand, often keeps his political views to himself, often focusing on his philanthropic efforts more than anything else. He is also a noted MMA fan, having appeared cage-side at UFC 299, where he viewed Sean O'Malley's spectacular bantamweight title defense against Marlon 'Chito' Vera.

He was spotted alongside influencer boxing stars KSI and Logan Paul, whose PRIME brand of energy drinks has a global marketing partnership with the UFC. While his schedule is often busy, it is likely he will spare some time to be cage-side for McGregor's expected UFC return.
