5. Olivia Munn

Not only is Olivia Munn a MMA superfan, she’s also a self proclaimed bestie of UFC President Dana White. The pair were even spotted out hilariously drunk together. That photo happened to come right after the UFC 146 main event got cancelled due to Alistair Overeem’s positive drug test — whoops.

She’s been spotted sitting front row at numerous UFC fights including UFC 145 where she watched former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones defeat Rashad Evans. Munn also presented White the Visionary Award at the 2014 Sports Spectacular Gala. She’s not just a fan of the UFC — the UFC is a fan of her.

4. Mario Lopez

Mario Lopez has come along way since AC Slater. Lopez is now the host of EXTRA and he’s used his fandom for the sport of MMA to catapult some fighters into a mainstream audience by having them on his entertainment show.

Just recently he had UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw and newly crowned flyweight champion Henry Cejudo face off on his show. The pair are trying to instigate a super fight for their next title defenses.

Lopez and his wife are often seen cheering from the front row at fights like UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Felder. He’s not just a fan though, he also trains in boxing to stay in shape and his kids are even training in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

We could see Lopez making an attempt at an MMA fight, what do you guys think?
