When people say, "Don't let anyone stand in the way of your dreams," they didn't mean doing something as crazy as this! Two UFC fans recorded themselves as they used fake credentials to sneak into Madison Square Garden to watch UFC 205, the company's first event in New York City.
The guy taking the video, identified as "Shane Dillion," says that his friend, "Kaelin," took photos of crew members the day before UFC 205 as they came in and out of the arena. One of their photos was able to capture an up-close shot of their passes, so they made their own credentials, and gave it a shot.
Aside from a visit to the press room, these two guys didn't try to take too many chances with their fake credentials. Instead, they used their "passes" to simply get a good view of the fights, and can you blame them? Considering this event was a first in New York City, and "the biggest, baddest card we've ever done in the history of the company," according to UFC president Dana White, UFC 205 was easily one of the hottest (and most expensive) tickets in town.
Back in June, a Golden State Warriors fan named Micah Poag used a fake press pass to sneak into the Oracle Center to watch Game 7 of the NBA Finals. However, karma caught up with Micah as he got to see his favorite team lose to the Cleveland Cavaliers in dramatic fashion, and if you haven't heard, blow a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
