Michael Jordan prevented a fight outside of the MGM Grand Resort and Casino after the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight.

Michael Jordan was able to keep the fighting inside the ring last Saturday after the Floyd Mayweater and Manny Pacquaio fight. The trouble began when Jordan attempted to leave the MGM Grand after the festivities. One of Jordan’s bodyguards cleared people out of the way in order for Jordan to get to his car. In doing so he angered a man who was not too fond of being pushed aside. The two got into an argument and tensions were high.

That is, until Michael Jordan intervened.

Jordan took control of the situation by stepping between his bodyguard and the angry man. Once he was able to physically separate the two men, the tensions died down and the situation was resolved. Jordan and company then left the scene without incident.

Dropping Jordan into the middle of an argument is a guaranteed immediate resolution.

Imagine you and your significant other are arguing over whether her new dress is blue and black or white and gold. Just when the argument is coming to a head and the two of you are about to break up, six-time NBA champion, Finals MVP and Space Jam star, Michael Jordan steps between you two and tells you to calm down. And guess what? You both calm down. Its Michael Jordan! How can you not forget about your argument and immediately revel in the presence of His Royal Airness?

Props to Michael Jordan for defusing a potentially violent situation and a hearty thanks to MJ for every future conflict he will resolve. Also, thank you for Hanes Tagless t-shirts. Thank you, Michael.
