Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow attended UFC 287 and generated a huge reaction on social media.
It wasn’t just Burrow’s presence at the event that had social media talking, either.
Rather, it was video footage of Burrow’s reaction to Israel Adesanya stunning Alex Pereira with a knockout to win the Middleweight title that had everyone talking on platforms like Twitter.
It took a while for Burrow’s reaction to actually go public and spread from there. But now that it has, some of the chatter about how he and guys like Odell Beckham Jr. reacted has been pretty funny.
Here’s a roundup of reactions to the viral video.
