In the video, Jon Jones attempted a lay-up on a basketball court only to fail miserably as the ball fell on his head. Moreover, Conor McGregor threw the first pitch at a baseball game, and his throw went to the stands instead of the catcher. Furthermore, Tommy Fury got into a one-on-one situation against a goalkeeper in a soccer game only to hit the ball out wide.
Floyd Mayweather fell and skidded away in a celebrity basketball game whilst defending. Heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte attempted a penalty kick on an open goal only to hit out wide. Even British star Paddy Pimblett tried his hand at baseball. Nonetheless, fans enjoyed the hilarious video clip.
Even though combat sports athletes did not do well in other sports, athletes from other sports have built respect for combat sports. NFL legend Tom Brady is a huge UFC fan. Cristiano Ronaldo, Joe Burrow, Maxx Crosby, and Kevin Durant also admire the sport. Nonetheless, most of the top stars in other sports earn substantially more than UFC athletes.
