NBA star Shaquille O'Neal will make his first appearance in Boston since he joined the Boston Celtics at today's UFC Fan Expo. "Shaq has been a huge supporter of the UFC and we’re pumped that he’ll be making his first public appearance at the UFC Fan Expo,” UFC President Dana White said in a press release.

"With Shaq becoming a Celtic and this being our first-ever event in Boston, the timing is perfect. This is just another reason why Boston sports fans can’t miss this event." You can check out all the details at UFC.com.

Powell's POV: Shaq has expressed interest in getting inside the Octagon, but I don't think White takes his aspirations seriously. Nevertheless, he is a big fan of the product, and I'm sure he'll draw some NBA fans to the UFC Expo today.
