The power of the fighting spirit was on full display this past Saturday in San Diego, as Zion Clark won his MMA debut.
Clark defeated Eugene Murray by unanimous decision in a Gladiator Challenge bout, a remarkable feat for a man born without legs. Despite suffering from a rare birth disorder, the 25-year-old Clark has turned himself into an athletic phenomenon. He owns two different Guinness records—the highest box jump on two hands and running 20 meters in 4.78 seconds—and wrestled collegiately at Kent State.
Looking ahead, will a major state athletic commission ever sanction his fights in a bigger, more established promotion?
