Guy Fieri Shares Health Update After Tearing His Quad Muscle in Half
Guy Fieri is trying to turn down the heat.
While attending UFC 327 fight at Kaseya Center in Miami April 11, the Food Network star ran into controversial sibling duo Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate.
After a video of their exchange circulated on social media, showing the Diners, Drive-Ins host and Dives shaking hands and sharing a brief embrace with the influencers, Guy reacted to backlash from fans and denied any connection to the pair.
“I’m seeing all of your comments about the photo from Saturday’s UFC event and all I can say is that I’m devastated,” Guy wrote on X April 14. “I was there to see the fights and when I was walking through the venue, the Tate brothers stood up and said hello and that’s when the exchanged [sic] happened.”
The 58-year-old—dad to sons Hunter, 29, and Ryder, 20, with wife Lori Fieri—clarified, “I did not know them or about them before that moment.”
“I’ll never pretend to be a perfect person but let me be crystal clear,” he continued, “I do not know the Tate brothers nor do I support them in any way.”
In response to Guy’s statement, Andrew shared a clip from the movie 300 showing Greek character Ephialtes looking down forlornly.

In Romania, the brothers are accused of forming an organized criminal group and trafficking more than 30 women, including a 17-year-old, according to court documents obtained by The New York Times.
