Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green Attend UFC 320 on Video Ahead of NBA Season with Warriors

Golden State Warriors teammates Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green were present at UFC 320 in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev looked to defend his title against former two-division champion Alex Pereira in the main event, while bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili sought to defend his title against Cory Sandhagen in the co-main event.

Butler and Green are also gearing up for the 2025-26 season with the Warriors, their first full year sharing the court.

The Warriors acquired Butler during the 2024-25 season as part of a blockbuster trade with the Miami Heat on Feb. 5.

Golden State immediately excelled following the acquisition, ending the regular season by posting a 23-7 record in 30 games with the six-time All-Star in its lineup.

Butler averaged 17.9 points, 5.9 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game as a member of the Warriors.

Golden State ended the year with a 48-34 overall record, advancing to the Western Conference semifinals before falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games. It’s worth noting that Warriors superstar Stephen Curry only appeared in one contest during the series due to hamstring issues.

Meanwhile, Green continued to anchor Golden State’s defense. He averaged 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game on 42.4/32.5/68.7 shooting splits last season.

The Warriors will open their 2025-26 campaign against the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 21.
