Zion Clark, a wrestler who was born without legs. has won his first professional mixed martial arts fight on his debut.
The 25-year-old former college wrestler, who was born with no legs due to a rare birth disorder called caudal regression syndrome, fought able-bodied Eugene Murray in California on Saturday night, and won by unanimous decision.
Clark took on Murray in San Diego's Gladiator Challenge and impressed with a series of takedowns in a bid to wrangle his opponent into submission, the Mirror reports. Murray was unable to land head kicks because Clark was deemed to be a "grounded opponent" at all times, and MMA laws stipulate you cannot kick a grounded opponent in the head.
