This week, Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow was seen in the crowd sitting ringside for UFC 287 in Miami. The young star was seen sitting with fellow LSU Tigers alum Odell Beckham Jr. and former Ohio State Buckeyes teammates Joey Bosa and Sam Hubbard, who also currently plays on the Bengals with Burrow. It was a star-studded group, but they were certainly not the most famous people in the building – that honor goes to former United States President Donald Trump. But they did get to meet him.
Donald Trump was also seen in the crowd for UFC 287 as he sat at a table near the ring to watch Israel Adesanya knock out Alex Pereira in the main event. He was not far from where Joe Burrow and Odell Beckham Jr. were sitting, so the pair apparently decided to go meet the former president.
A photo that has surfaced online shows Burrow and Beckham standing near Trump with Burrow shaking the hand of the former president.
The photo has since gone completely viral on social media with plenty of people offering their opinions on the interaction.

I wouldn’t touch that nasty man, but Burrow wants to do great things. He’s respectful enough to at least acknowledge that piece of trash. But if we have a bad season, this is why. https://t.co/bawQVWF2ef

It was a very simple and quick handshake between the two, but it’s safe to say that it caused quite some controversy online.
