Robert Downey Jr. is one brave man. In a sea of a 17,000-plus British fight fans, it appeared he was lone spectator who enjoyed Carlos Condit's beatdown of Dan Hardy. Earlier in the show at UFC 120, RDJ was seen on the telecast sitting with his acting buddies Guy Ritchie and Jude Law, both Brits. MMACagedoor.com got this great photo of Downey Jr. celebrating the beginning of the end for Hardy. The brash Brit ate a nasty left hook from the American and fell to his back where he took two more shots in the kisser before referee Dan Miragliotta saved him.
RDJ's reaction is also caught on Dana White's UFC 120 fight night vlog (4:25 mark).
It's also worth noting White had WBA heavyweight champ David Haye as a guest sitting next to him alongside the Octagon. It's good to see White has become acquainted with Haye. Back in July, White told Ryen Russillo on ESPNRadio that he wasn't familiar with Haye (audio - 4:28 mark). He made a smart move befriending the young Brit. Haye's a big star in the U.K. and one of the few boxers who gives MMA its respect.
