A wrestling standout born with no legs won his professional MMA debut on Saturday night - and he is targeting a future in the UFC.
Zion Clark is a 25-year-old former college wrestler who was born with no legs due to a rare birth disorder called caudal regression syndrome. Despite spending most of his youth in foster care, Clark refused to let his condition hold him back in any walk of life as he became a talented wrestler and eventually got a university scholarship for his skills on the mat.
He holds several Guinness World Records, such as the highest box jump from the hands, the most diamond push-ups in three minutes and the quickest 20-meter run on two hands. Clark made his first-ever appearance in the cage against Eugene Murray, who is not disabled, at Gladiator Challenge in San Diego as he won all three rounds of the fight to have his hand raised by unanimous decision.
