07:37 AM ET 10.01 | When Glen Davis walked into the Wai Kru mixed martial arts gym in Allston last month, you can forgive owner and head trainer John Allan for getting excited. Not being a basketball fan, Allan's feelings had nothing to do with training an NBA player. Instead, Allan saw a massive 6-foot-9 project with the physical tools to become an MMA star. Davis had long been a fan of MMA. He decided to get involved in the sport over the summer after watching his girlfriend participate in amateur Muay Thai competitions. With Davis' weight closely monitored, the Celtics are happy to see his enthusiasm for the offseason workouts.
