Jamal Murray Watching UFC 299 on ‘Khabib’s Russian Link’ Sends Israel Adesanya, Megan Olivi and UFC World Into a Frenzy

UFC 299 presented one of the best PPV cards in recent memory. There were so many exciting fights that even Jamal Murray did not want to miss any of the action. The Denver Nuggets star recently made an appearance in a press conference where he was seen too busy watching fights on the phone. This instance has caught the attention of a couple of UFC personalities and the fans on social media.

UFC has grown over the years to become the most popular fight promotion in the world. Moreover, celebrities like to attend UFC events and are seen witnessing the fights amongst the crowd at every PPV event. While some people attend the shows, some watch them on their devices, including Jamal Murray.

When athletes appear during press conferences, they are expected to respond to the questions that the media that gathered there put in front of them. However, Jamal Murray was seen constantly staring at his phone. When someone asked what he was watching, the Nuggets star revealed that he was watching UFC 299.

Jamal Murray did not stop answering the questions thrown at him, as he kept one eye on the media and one eye on his phone’s screen. When a video clip of this instance surfaced on social media, it went viral. The fans found it amusing, and it even garnered the attention of the former two-time middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya. Let’s take a look at some of their reactions.

Jamal Murray amuses fans and Israel Adesanya

The Denver Nuggets star went viral for his press conference antics and received love from Israel Adesanya for showing such an interest in UFC fights. Meanwhile, backstage reporter Megan Olivi also reacted as she claimed that UFC 299 was not an event fight fans should have missed. She said, “You love to see it.”

When it comes to the fans, they were skeptical of Jamal Murray in a light-hearted way. Similar to how Khabib Nurmagomedov once mentioned that he never bought UFC PPVs and instead used ‘Russian links’ to watch the fights. Fans believe Murray might be using the same links to watch the fights.

“You already know he was illegally streaming”

“He was 1000% watching streameast”

Some fans commended Jamal Murray for being able to answer questions while watching the fights at the same time. Others claim that the NBA is starting to get a little stale and UFC is on the rise.

“I feel him, the NBA is kinda boring nowadays”

“A multitasking king”

Meanwhile, some fans believed that Jamal Murray might have put some money on the line in some of the fights, which is why he was fixated on his phone screen. There were some fans who advised against using illegal links since Dana White doesn’t like that.

“He definitely got a bet on that one”

“Bruh had big money on that he ain worried about questions”

“Dawg Jamal better chill before Dana white puts him in a headlock”

While fans could speculate that he could be using some illegal streams, it is unlikely that it is the case.
