LOGAN PAUL and KSI were booed by MMA fans when they came up on the big screen at UFC 284.
The duo were in Australia to take in the promotion's second pay-per-view event of the year just weeks after their hydration drink – Prime – became an official UFC sponsor.
The former boxing opponents turned business partners came up on the big screen moments after Jack Della Maddelena's impressive first-round submission victory over Randy Brown.
And the passionate Perth crowd gave it to them with both barrels, vehemently booing them as they hit the screen.
Fans watching at home were quick to comment on the booing, with one saying: "KSI & Logan Paul out here getting booed at #UFC284."
Another said: "You hear everyone boo you when they cut to you."
