The UFC held an American UFC Fight Night card with fans in attendance for the first time since UFC Fight Night: Benavidez vs Figueiredo in 2020. Among all the enthusiastic fans at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio for UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs Daukas, two names stole the show. They were NFL star and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, Joe Burrow, and Ohio’s own UFC sensation Stipe Miocic.

The crazy card saw finishes and exciting matches throughout the night. Hence, Burrow and all the other fans definitely would’ve enjoyed watching the live UFC event.

Even earlier at UFC London, the stars made their presence felt and the UFC Fight Night card appeared nothing less than a PPV card.

Former UFC heavyweight champion and the full-time firefighter Stipe Miocic came to watch the heavyweight main event- Curtis Blaydes vs Chris Daukas. While Miocic appeared to enjoy himself in the crowd, the UFC heavyweight GOAT kept a close eye on his divisional rivals.

The winner of the main event would have thrown his name into the hat for title/interim title consideration. Now, with the way Curtis Blaydes got the job done, it could be highly likely.
