The Problem Child Jake Paul recently disclosed how he “illegally” infiltrated the UFC 306 event, using a full disguise to evade detection.
As a prominent influencer and content creator, Jake Paul has been embroiled in several controversies, one of which occurred in 2022 when UFC CEO Dana White prohibited him from attending any UFC events.
“Dana banned me after they were yelling ‘f*** Jake Paul’ in the stadium, then I tried to go to a different fight, and all our tickets were declined,” Paul recounted on his podcast in 2023.
Although he had refrained from attempting to attend any UFC events thereafter, everything changed when his business partner Sean O’Malley defended his bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306.
The main event took place on September 15, 2024, marking the first sporting event held inside The Sphere, with the Suga Show ultimately losing the match and relinquishing the title to challenger Merab.
Just a day post-UFC 306, Jake Paul took to Instagram to disclose his decision to “sneak into the Sphere” to show his support for O’Malley despite the ban.

In his video announcement, Paul revealed that if he was “going to illegally sneak in,” he’d “need a disguise.”
The video then showed Paul donning a long wig, sunglasses, and a greying beard to create the illusion of being significantly older.
After successfully navigating security undetected, Jake expressed his disbelief, stating, “Bro, I can’t f***ing believe this is working.”
Jake Paul even managed to fool Adin Ross
To put his disguise to the ultimate test, Jake Paul approached popular creator Adin Ross and even requested a photo.
Given their past interactions, including frequent streams together, this encounter served as a crucial challenge for his disguise.
Surprisingly, when Paul approached Ross, the Kick streamer had no inkling of his true identity, treating Jake Paul as just another fan.
As of now, Dana White and the UFC have not commented on Paul’s admission of attending the event despite the ongoing ban. Updates will follow if there are any developments.
