The New York Jets’ starting quarterback was spotted heading into Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena to watch UFC 303
Aaron Rodgers is back from his journey to watch one of the biggest fights of the year.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), ESPN showed the New York Jets quarterback and his former teammate, Marcedes Lewis, walking to their seats to watch UFC 303 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Rodgers has evidently returned from whatever escapades and adventures he has been on in the past few weeks. He is an avid UFC fan, and it is no surprise that he is in attendance for one of the year’s most significant events so far.
Will there be various pieces of thought about Rodgers going to an event instead of training? Will various national media outlets use Rodgers’s sudden appearance as content for the next month while they wait for football to truly return? It remains to be seen, but some media members are probably drafting their ideas at this very instant.
In all seriousness, all that matters is that Rodgers is ready to roll for Week 1 of the 2024 regular season. No matter what trips he goes on (both physical and psychological), the quarterback will be mainly judged by his ability to lead the Jets.
Until that moment arrives, Rodgers is just another professional athlete. He went on a vacation, and now he is watching some of the best athletes in the world compete in an octagon against each other.
As long as Rodgers can help the Jets get close to lifting the equivalent of the NFL’s championship belt, none of his offseason escapades will matter.
