Lad Manages To Land Himself A £5,000 Ringside Seat For UFC 205

The ultimate jib!

Ever thought you were the absolute top dog when you managed to jib in at a club without paying the entry fee? Or maybe you've doubled up at a football ground and got in for free?

While any of the above two are decent achievements and probably do deserve a chufty badge, the ultimate blagger lies elsewhere.

25-year old Steve Carruthers managed to get himself into the massive Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas a year ago as part of Leonardo Di Caprio's party.

But he's gone up another gear with his latest jib, with news that he convinced security at Madison Square Garden that he was a VIP and watched the historic event from a £5,000 ringside seat. Initially he had to bide his time when a doorman requested he show a ticket, but after dressing smart in a suit, he seized his opportunity.

As quoted by The Mirror, he recalls his journey where he managed to rub shoulders with A-List celebrities and even meet the victorious Conor McGregor after the fight.

He said:

"I arrived at the event suited and booted to blend in. But security was tight so I knew I'd have to be patient. I walked behind a woman when she was having her ticket scanned.

"Then because I was in a suit and shoes, the person on the door of the VIP UFC suite didn't ask me to show my ticket.

On walking in I realised I'd managed to get into the event for free.

"In and around the ringside as well as in the VIP suite I took photos with Swizz Beats, Demi Lovato, Zac Efron and Gordon Ramsey."

Steve, from Hull, completed his night when he managed to meet McGregor just hours after he had made history by holding two UFC titles at two different weights, at the same time.

He recalls that led to him having a photo with the top box-office attraction in sports.

"I'd got chatting to Conor's training partner Dillon Danis who suggested I might catch him at the Marriot where he was staying.

"After a couple of hours in the hotel lobby, Conor McGregor rolled up in his Rolls Royce at 5.30am. After explaining I'd come from England to see the fight, I asked for a photo and he obliged."

Fair play mate. We're excited to see what your next adventure brings...
