Paige named a legendary basketball player who could succeed in MMA

UFC British welterweight Michael Page has expressed his opinion that famed American basketball player Michael Jordan could reach greater heights in mixed martial arts.

"Who would make an MMA fighter out of an NBA player? It's definitely Michael Jordan. It's obvious. It's enough to study his career or watch a documentary about him.

He has the ability to create his own scenarios of the development of this or that event, which do not necessarily need to materialize in reality. But they are necessary to keep him focused and ready to win. It's an interesting character trait. So if he can come up with a story in his head and use it as fuel to fuel his charge, he would be a real beast in MMA," Fadeaway World quoted Page as saying.
