Auston Matthews describes the UFC night spent with Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is a big fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He's often seen in a suite or behind the Leafs bench, and he's friends with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.

These two were seen with Bieber at UFC 264, which featured Connor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.

"We were just like, 'Let's make a little trip of it, and maybe we'll just watch the fights and do the whole Vegas thing,"' Matthews recalled at the recent NHL/NHLPA media tour. "It was an incredible experience."

Later in the night, the group all went out.

"We went out to eat after," Matthews continued with a grin. "How everybody was getting back to the hotel was in this big sprinter van.

"Just hopped in with everybody else, and off we go."
