Ignacio Bahamondes is gearing up for a big fight at UFC 313, but he got an unexpected visit from a legend before stepping into the cage.

As Bahamondes prepared for his lightweight showdown against Jalin Turner on Saturday, March 8, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio showed up to give him some extra motivation. Mysterio didn’t come empty-handed either—he gifted Bahamondes a custom jacket, making the moment even more special.

The UFC fighter’s reaction to the gesture wasn’t shared, but having a legend like Mysterio stop by during fight week is something that doesn’t happen every day. With the fight just days away, it’s a unique way to keep the energy high ahead of a major showdown.

Mysterio, who is no stranger to combat sports himself, isn’t just making appearances—he’s got his own fight lined up. The WWE icon is set to compete on the March 10th episode of Monday Night Raw, meaning he’ll be stepping into the ring just two days after UFC 313.
