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.

MMA reporter Megan Olivi gave a five-word reaction in the comments section:
"You love to see it."
UFC 299 has been hailed as one of the best events in recent memory. In the main event, bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley defended his title against Marlon Vera with an excellent display of striking en route to a unanimous decision victory.
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.
