Jake Paul has revealed how he was able to sneak into the Noche UFC event despite being banned from attending by Dana White.

Controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul has regularly exchanged blows with UFC CEO and president White over the years, often criticising the organisation over how much they pay fighters on their roster.

Paul's actions online, as well as his behaviour while attending UFC 261 where he was seen arguing with former champion Daniel Cormier, lead to him being banned from attending all UFC events.

But now, Paul has revealed that he risked being sent to jail over the weekend as he secretly snuck into last weekend's card at the Las Vegas Sphere.

Paul's close friend and business partner Sean O'Malley featured in the main event of the historic card, as he hoped to defend his UFC bantamweight title from Georgian challenger Merab Dvalishvili.

The fight was undoubtedly the biggest in O'Malley's career and so, Paul felt he had to be there and has revealed on TikTok that he wore a disguise so that he could sneak into the event without White, or O'Malley, knowing.

In a clip taken before the event, Paul can be seen embracing his friend, who together own a men's deodorant brand named 'W', apologising for not being able to watch him fight but reassuring him that he was confident that O'Malley would win the bout.

Paul then reveals the disguise he wore on the night, including prosthetics that made him look almost completely unrecognisable as he appeared to be a much older man with long hair, a bushy beard and dark sunglasses.

And, should he have been caught, Paul claims that he would have been sent to jail as attending the event despite being banned is deemed to be illegal.

But the disguise did it's job and the 27-year-old was able to get through securing and take his seats cageside just metres away from White and several UFC fighters including Jon Jones and Alex Pereira.

Unfortunately for Paul, O'Malley lost his belt as he was convincingly defeated via unanimous decision, crowning Dvalishvilli as the new bantamweight champion.
