Tom Brady has a bit more free time this offseason as the seven-time Super Bowl winner attended the UFC 285 event in Las Vegas. Brady took in the event with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate, wide receiver Mike Evans. However, fans quickly became concerned with the recently retired quarterback and his look.
The former three-time NFL MVP donned a gray baseball cap, but his face definitely looked a bit different. His cheekbones were visible and curved inwards. Last year, many fans suggested that Brady had plastic surgery to attempt and change his facial appearance.
Rumors about possible plastic surgery began when Brady was absent 11 days from training camp last season. Fans felt it was due to undergoing a medical procedure. That would be too short an amount of time to recover from serious plastic surgery, but he could have had botox injections.

Brady has yet to say that this is the case though and asserts that his looks are real. He has previously spoken about how he adheres to an extremely meticulous diet plan which is plant-based and very abundant in protein. The diet is known as the TB12 diet.
According to Forbes Health, it's a mostly plant-based diet that encourages the eating of a variety of healthy, anti-inflammatory foods. It goes on to explain the ins and outs of the diet.
Forbes Health said:
"The Tom Brady Diet (or the TB12 Diet) is an eating pattern that encourages followers to consume a variety of nutrient-dense whole foods like fruits and vegetables. It also limits foods that tend to cause inflammation, such as refined carbohydrates and saturated fats.
"More specifically, organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes should make up about 80% of the diet. Grass-fed, organic meat and hormone- and antibiotic-free poultry should make up the remaining 20% of the diet, along with wild-caught fish and seafood."
Whether it's a diet or not, fans have taken to Twitter to share some memes surrounding Tom Brady's appearance at UFC 285.
