UFC fighters recently clashed on a basketball court. They proved that they did not only want to defeat each other in the octagon. Top UFC fighters were split into two teams for a basketball match ahead of UFC 290. Retired UFC legend Daniel Cormier led one team, while UFC light heavyweight kingpin Jamahal Hill was the captain of the other team. The bout was a fun spectacle for fans who have only seen the competitive spirit of their favorite fighters in the UFC.

After an exciting match, Team DC won the game 49-48. UFC welterweight star Philip Rowe received the Most Valuable Player award after the end of the game.
