That’s not the Grim Reaper sitting behind homeboy with the UFC cap. It’s pop-squealer, Michael Jackson. And apparently we’re the only ones in the dark about his infatuation with mixed martial arts.

Jacko hit the Ultimate Fighting Championship match at the MGM Grand Saturday night, clad in his finest burka-ish ensemble. That’s not a typo — Michael Jackson enjoys cage fighting! MJ rolled up to the event in a wheelchair, just in time to watch Tito Ortiz get smacked around … that is, if he could see anything through those ridiculously blacked out shades.

In fact, he thinks MMA is a thriller of a sport. Ok. Someone just threw a shoe at us for using that. No worries. We’re going to rock with it because our pretty young thang at home believes we’re awesome. Anyway, Michael Jackson looks ridiculous in his burka. At this point, he probably looks like the mummy from, um, “The Mummy” at half regeneration.
