The Kansas City Chiefs are once again Super Bowl champions and the MMA world is reacting.
On Sunday night, the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 22-19 in an overtime game for the ages. Patrick Mahomes threw for 333 yards and the game winning touchdown and the MMA world was watching, with several prominent figures rooting the Chiefs on and a few other notable fighters with a less charitable viewing of the event.
Stockton native Nate Diaz was the most vociferous in his displeasure as his fellow California’s fell just short, but mostly fighters were just disappointed that the rumor of a UFC 300 main event fight announcement did not come to fruition. Instead, UFC 300 remains without a main event, and Kansas City has become the first repeat champions in the NFL in nearly 20 years.

Kyle Shanahan is show muscles.
Regular season offensive genius.
