Atlanta Hawks and Latvian national team center Kristaps Porzingis<\/a> surprised the basketball world with a recent statement.<\/p>\n

Porzingis revealed that after his NBA<\/a> career, he plans to try his hand at MMA. According to him, he is a passionate fan of the sport and would love to test himself in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMMA is a sport that\u2019s very close to my heart. It\u2019s number one for watching. It\u2019s something I get fired up about, so I decided to join a new MMA project. Everything is still in process \u2014 once we get closer to the final result, I\u2019ll be able to share more,\u201d Porzingis said to Sportacentrs<\/a>, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis summer, I\u2019ve also tried MMA, but I promised one of the clubs I represent that I wouldn\u2019t pursue it during my basketball career. I\u2019m saving myself for an MMA career after basketball,\u201d Kristaps Porzingis concluded.<\/p>\n
