VIDEO: NFL Superstar Tom Brady Makes an Appearance at UFC 261
Consensus NFL QB GOAT Tom Brady was one of many stars who have made their appearance at UFC 261. It’s no surprise to see Brady in attendance considering he plays for the Tampa-based organization and the event is being held in Jacksonville. Brady’s move down to the Florida scene has certainly gone a long way in increasing the State’s visibility in the sports world.
Chiefly, Caroline Pearce from BT Sport made sure to catch Brady as he moved along backstage. In fact, Pearce notoriously missed out on catching Brady on tape in the past and made to correct her oversight. Tom Brady who was as affable as always made sure to acknowledge Pearce whilst quickly pacing to his front-row seat.

UFC 261: There’s plenty to watch out for
Tom Brady hasn’t just come down to witness UFC 261 since it’s the first show with a full-capacity audience since UFC 248. However, the fight card itself has been stacked to the brim with exciting match-ups that have fans excited. UFC 261 comes in as just the eight fight card in UFC history to bolster three title fights.
A few lads pretty good at American Football in attendance!

With the appearance of Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal at the top of the card, it’s certainly one that’s hard to miss. ‘Gamebred’ is a massive worldwide star in the UFC and obviously commands attention since he hails from Miami, Florida. Moreover, Kamaru Usman has been gaining popularity more as of late and fans are recognizing his greatness.
The women’s title fights are nothing to scoff as they are arguably the more competitive pairing on the card. The co-main event in particular between Zhang Weili and Rose Namajunas has been circled by fight fans. Both women are coming off stellar performances in their last fights and will be looking to make another solid appearance.
Women fighting in the UFC once seemed like an impossible thought. Less than a decade later, women’s fights are a staple on some of the promotion’s biggest events.

What’s more, fans are always on the look-out to see who is the next big test for Valentina Shevchenko as she’s been nothing short of dominant. Former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade certainly fits that bill and could be Shevchenko’s most formidable test to date.
