The celebrities have turned out to RAC Arena for UFC action with West Coast’s Harley Reid heading cageside an hour after the Eagles’ loss to Richmond at Optus Stadium.

Reid and teammate Harry Schoenberg arrived at the venue about half an hour before the main card started which is headlined by Perth’s own Jack Della Maddalena.

The pair were part of the side which lost to the Tigers by 11 points in front of more than 46,000 fans that afternoon.

They were joined by a trio of Fremantle stars in Luke Jackson, as well as fellow ruckman Sean Darcy and Jaeger O’Meara.

Darcy is sidelined with a calf injury, while O’Meara was sporting a shiner after having surgery on facial injuries he sustained at training last month.

UFC light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg was also cageside just weeks after he became the latest Australian to win gold in the promotion.

Ulberg injured his knee in the fight and is set for a stint on the sidelines.
