The 62-year-old Portuguese tactician is no stranger to London, having spent a combined seven years managing Chelsea and Tottenham across multiple stints. With his Fenerbahce squad partly on international duty, Mourinho seized the opportunity to fly back to the British capital for a mini-break. His presence didn’t go unnoticed and received a massive cheer from the London crowd, a testament to the enduring connection he shares with the city.

When he was approached by UFC’s social media team for his thoughts on the evening’s headline fight, it was vintage Mourinho on the mic: "I think if I speak, I’m in trouble."

This reference is to his iconic post-match remark from 2014, where he was speaking about referee Chris Foy's performance after Aston Villa beat Chelsea 1-0.
