Theo Von has earned a bunch of new fans for the most unlikely reason at UFC 313.
The card started over one hour later than expected after being rocked by two late fight cancellations.
Still, the vast majority of the VIP seats at cageside were empty for the first fight of the night in Las Vegas.
However, Theo Von was seen sitting alone when Ozzy Diaz and Djorden Ribeiro dos Santos kicked off the card.
Theo Von impresses MMA fans again
The popular comedian and podcaster did the same thing when he attended UFC 310 in December 2024.
Fans praised him then, and they did so again when they noticed him in his seat at the start of UFC 313.
One fan said: “Dedication.” While another added: “He’s one of us.”
“He’s a real one,” someone else commented.
“Theo grew up with nothing, he probably gets invited— free to these events, doesn’t take it for granted. GOAT,” a fourth fan theorized.
“True fan,” another social media user said.
“The only man smart enough to have the best seat in the house and take actually advantage of it,” a sixth fan tweeted.
Theo Von predicts UFC 313
UFC cameras caught up with Theo Von, who offered his thoughts on the 10-bout card.
Joe Rogan‘s long-time friend backed Alex Pereira and Justin Gaethje to win the top two fights.
“We got Justin Gaethje is going to be here, and I’m going to go with him. I’m riding with him,” Von said.
“I’m going with ‘Big Chama’, ‘The Arrow Dog’. Native Brazilian. Who else? I want to see King Green get in there. You never know what kind of action he’s gonna pull up on.
“Yeah, I just feel blessed to be in the building. A wonderful weekend of Power Slap and now the UFC.
“This is my Christmas.”
