Michael Jackson Was an MMA Fan

Maybe you loved Michael Jackson. Maybe you didn't. Regardless, there is no denying that The King of Pop was one of the most influential recording artists of all-time and that many around the world are still mourning his sudden departure.

With all of the articles out there on him under the circumstances, I recently came across several that noted he was an MMA fan. In fact, he actually showed up at UFC 84. My first reaction was surprise. After all, Jackson just doesn't look like an MMA fan, nor did he seem to act like one. Of course, that was the thing with him, right? We never really knew him at all, so every supposition we made was just that. Beyond the moves on stage and ability to capture and audience like few others in history, part of the allure was the fact that he was so interesting and unknown.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.
