Mixed martial arts giant UFC hosted its UFC 288 event on Saturday night. Before every fight, a TV graphic is shown where analysts suggest what the fighters' plans should be during the fight in order to get the win.

The penultimate fight in the main card featured a battle between Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad. That's when Westbrook's name was shown on the screen.

Discussing the ways for Burns to capture the victory, the commentators suggested three ways - close the distance, secure takedowns, and don't be Russell Westbrook.

In what was supposed to be a comment recommending the fighter not to rush his actions and just make quality decisions, it ended up being a roast on the Los Angeles Clippers player.

Burns ended up losing the fight via referee decision.
