Zion Clark, an MMA fighter with no legs, wants to become a world champion after winning his professional debut.
The 25-year-old former college wrestler was born with no legs due to a rare birth disorder called caudal regression syndrome. Clark has refused to let his disability hold him back in any walk of life, continuing to defy the odds by winning a decision against able-bodied opponent Eugene Murray last weekend in San Diego.
Clark is by no means done with MMA after winning his first fight as he wants to win a world title. "I want to take it all the way to the top. I want a belt. Now I’m in a place where I can do some damage. Why not run this train off the rails? I try to keep it moving forward. I don’t want to ride the wave of this one fight. I want you guys to see the next one.” That’s as simple as it is but for now, I’ve got to get there first, so I’ve got to focus and learn right now," he told MMA Fighting.
