Some NBA players follow Major League Baseball, the NFL, or even golf or soccer when they aren’t playing the game they play for a living, or watching others do so. But for star Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis, the sport of choice for the Latvian center’s downtime is mixed martial arts (MMA) — especially when they are hosted by the UFC.
Porzingis recently opened up about his love for the sport, and how he squeezes in matches both in person and on the screen when traveling with the Celtics from city to city for games on an episode of the “MMA Junkie” podcast.
He also shared who his favorite fighters are and what matches he is looking forward to in the near-term future, and spoke about some of his former teammates who are also MMA fans.
