Kelsey Plum couldn’t have known that a little playful pot-stirring would have led to her having a hand in the fates of some of the UFC’s biggest stars.
Earlier this month, the WNBA standout had the opportunity to sit in on a UFC meeting after sharing a story on Instagram in which she nearly had lightweights Kevin Lee and Michael Johnson ready to throw down at the UFC Performance Institute. That impromptu piece of matchmaking led to Plum receiving an official invite to share her thoughts with UFC President Dana White, UFC executive Hunter Campbell, and matchmakers Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby, an event that was documented by the UFC.
