On Saturday night, the sports world was again ruled by a UFC event, as Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira squared off in the main event for the middleweight title.
In the crowd, there were a number of NFL stars, including Odell Beckham Jr., Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson and Aaron Donald. Among them were Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier.

UFC 287 took place in Miami, so it’s not too surprising to see so many NFL stars together in one place, but it’s pretty cool to see McDaniel and Grier’s relationship is one that allows them to take some time away from football and enjoy each other’s company.
McDaniel was even caught catching up with Donald, the Los Angeles Rams’ star defensive tackle.
