He might be a badass Vampire hunter in "The Vampire Diaries" but Steven R. McQueen is turning into somewhat of a real life badass as he attended UFC 182 Jon "Bones" Jones versus Daniel Cormier.

First there were the series of fitness posts on Instagram, then some odes to great boxers on both Instagram and Twitter now, McQueen is attending UFC fights and this weekend was one of the most anticipated ones as of late.

"Jones (21-1) notched his eighth consecutive light heavyweight title defense at UFC 182 inside MGM Grand Garden Arena, defeating Cormier (15-1) via unanimous decision," according to ESPN. "All three judges scored the bout for Jones, 49-46."

McQueen was there and looked to be pretty pumped to be there in his video post. The post featured some loud music, a high energy crowd and some of the most intense reaction from McQueen and his friend.

If fans know anything about McQueen it's that his character Jeremy Gilbert on "The Vampire Diaries" can fly off the handle sometimes in an emotional state.

It looks like training and UFC keeps the real McQueen fit and in shape to handle that sort of role.

Meanwhile, McQueen's grandfather is scheduled to go into surgery today according to his post late yesterday.

He posted a photo with his grandfather surrounded by family and asked his fans and followers to wish his grandpa good luck in his surgery.

Well wishes are coming from our end, if fans want to send their well wishes social media is an excellent place to do so and for those who want to catch McQueen in his role as Jeremy Gilbert, well, you can catch him when "The Vampire Diaries" returns on January 22 at 8 PM EST on The CW.

Please wish my grandpa luck with his surgery tomorrow
