Chiefs' Mahomes, Kelce, Hill respond to challenge from UFC fighter
UFC middleweight fighter Julian Marquez is eyeing up a trio of Kansas City Chiefs players as his next competition following his second-round submission of Sam Alvey on Saturday.
Marquez issued a post-fight challenge to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill after declaring himself "the baddest man from Kansas City." He isn't interested in fighting the Chiefs players, though. Instead, he wants to square off in a game of badminton or pickleball.
