UFC star Conor McGregor explains "only way to stop" MMA fighter with no legs

Conor McGregor has outlined the only way to stop Zion Clark after the legless MMA fighter won his professional debut.

Clark is a 25-year-old former college wrestler who was born with no legs due to a birth disorder called caudal regression syndrome. Refusing to allow his disability to restrict him, Clark won his professional MMA debut this past weekend against able-bodied opponent Eugene Murray at Gladiator Challenge in San Diego.

Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor shared his fascination for Clark's story and praised him for the takedown ability he showed off in his debut. "Absolutely fascinating to hear about this man’s debut and now see it. Lighting entry on the low single. Wow! You should not connect to him in any shape or form. Frames only. Frame to strike. Fascinating! Congrats and so much respect to that man Zion Clark! Mma is the best sport," he wrote.
