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.

Burrow was spotted saying, “What’s up guys, Joe Burrow here. Excited to be in the building, in Columbus, in my home state, ready to watch all these fights.”
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.
For the past two years, the UFC had operated its Fight Night cards from the UFC Apex because of known restriction reasons. However, now that they are coming back with the crowd in attendance, it reminds us how great the fight fans make a card.
The enthusiasm of a packed crowd in a closed arena is astonishing to experience, even for the general audience who are watching/streaming it from around the world.
Not only Joe Burrow, but Stipe Miocic was also in the building at UFC Columbus
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.
