Kai Kara-France enjoyed a sensational triumph over #2 UFC Flyweight contender Askar Askarov to celebrate his 29th birthday. Held in Columbus, Ohio, the Fight Night received an immense crowd, also counting many renowned stars and athletes. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was one such star in attendance.

Interestingly, Burrow, who is a Kara-France fan, approached the Kiwi to congratulate him after his win. But to our surprise, Kara-France was not familiar with the Cincinnati quarterback. In an interview with Megan Olivi, Kara-France shares his thoughts on his meeting with Burrow.

Olivi asked Kara-France if meeting Burrow was ‘a big deal’ to him. On this, ‘Don’t Blink’ replied, “I don’t really know when he came out to me… I was like, what’s up, bro? What’s your name? And they were like He plays with Cincinnati Bengals. But he was a big fan, so… now I love having new fans and I guess I better get to a game and watch it.”

Later, Burrow and Kara-France are greeting each other with respect. “It’s all good, brother,” replied Burrow. In addition, the football quarterback is conversing about getting the UFC Flyweight out to watch a game for Cincinnati Bengals.

At UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs Daukas, Joe Burrow was one among many stars who stole the limelight with their presence.
