Zion Clark Discusses His MMA Journey Both Past, Present, And Future
Clark was born with a rare birth defect called Caudal Regression Syndrome. Because of this, he was born without legs. He had a tough childhood but found success in athletics. He has broken several Track and Field world records and now is using his wrestling background to get into MMA.
He spoke with MMA Fighting about his first win and where he thinks his career could take him.
“I’m a martial artist first before everything. There’s no track and field without the basis of wrestling for me. There’s no breaking world records without the basis of wrestling for me. I’ve really circulated my life around this. Not that I’m obsessed, but more so that I’ve learned a lot of values and it’s helped me through some dark times,” he said. “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.”
Clark has the support of the MMA community. Even Conor McGregor is keeping a watchful eye on him. Clark was a bit critical of his first bout but getting the win is all that mattered. He knows that he has a bright future and wants a bright shiny belt at the end of the day.
“[I want to] take it all the way to the top. I want a belt,” Clark said. “Simple. 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.”
Clark is looking to get back in the cage in 2023. He will need to heal up from a wrist injury he suffered in his fight. Now that his inspirational story is in the limelight, many more people will no doubt be following along as Clark sets out to prove his past haters wrong.
