A very lucky dog is sitting cageside at UFC 291 (PHOTOS)

Have you ever wanted to attend a UFC event live but have never had the opportunity to?

Want to feel really bad about it? A dog had the opportunity to get to a fight before you did.

During the opening contest for the UFC 291 prelims between Miranda Maverick and Priscila Cachoeira, a dog was seen sitting cageside for the action.

The dog's presence seemed to catch the attention and craze of social media more than the fight itself, which was won via submission by Maverick.

As of this moment, we have no information on the pup's name, who the pup is with and why it's there. All we know is, we're glad it is.
