Much like the rest of the sports world, Odell Beckham Jr. couldn't help but look on in amazement Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
When cameras panned cageside after Conor McGregor knocked out Eddie Alvarez to become the UFC's first simultaneous belt holder, the New York Giants' superstar receiver appeared to be disgusted by the result.
Not so, says Beckham.
He later explained that he was simply marveling at what McGregor had just done.
Mcgregor really to cold. Viscous and lethal. Much luv and respect king

His post-fight photo op with "The Notorious" all but confirms as much.
