Megan Olivi shares five-word reaction to NBA star Jamal Murray being engrossed in UFC 299 during his press conference
Megan Olivi reacted to a viral video of Jamal Murray watching UFC 299 while attending a press conference.
Murray, the Denver Nuggets point guard, was attending the presser after his team's win over Utah Jazz. However, he seemed too engaged in the content playing on his phone. The 27-year-old even answered the journalists' questions without taking his eyes off the phone.
Although Murray did not clearly mention what he was watching, the microphone caught Daniel Cormier, Joe Rogan, and Jon Anik's voices. This convinced fans that the NBA star was watching the UFC 299 event that took place on March 9.
Basketball fans criticized Murray for his half-hearted presence at the press conference. However, a section of MMA fans was happy to see the NBA star engrossed in a UFC event.
The video clip of Murray's press conference was posted on sportscenter Instagram.

Meanwhile, former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier secured a brutal knockout win over rising contender Benoit Saint Denis in the co-main event. Other than the headlining bouts, the event featured several other high-profile matchups.
