Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and wide receiver Mike Evans took in UFC 261 on Saturday at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

Bucs signal-caller Ryan Griffin, ex-Tampa Bay quarterback (and current free agent) Blaine Gabbert and Brady's personal trainer and business partner, Alex Guerrero, were also sitting ringside with the group.

Brady is a known UFC fan, showing his love for the promotion last May:

He also watched UFC 246 in person in Jan. 2020 and got a standing ovation from the Las Vegas crowd when he was shown on screen.

As for Saturday, Brady and Co. were in attendance for a loaded card featuring three title fights. The main event was a welterweight title fight between champion Kamaru Usman and challenger Jorge Masvidal.

In addition, Zhang Weili lost her strawweight title to Rose Namajunas, and Valentina Shevchenko retained her featherweight belt in a matchup against Jessica Andrade.
