Thread: Big Shaq wants a go

NBA's Shaquille O'Neal wants Hong Man Choi, Tito Ortiz for televised MMA fights | MMAjunkie.com

What do we make of this.

Would be interesting to see him fight if he has skills......

Would need a custom cage tho I reckon.

I doubt this will happen tho.

shaq is and has always talked about doing stuff like this but never does. He loves just throwing out random nonsense!

Theres a vid floating round the web of him training, he moves like hong man choi too. They both seem to have terrible mobility for fighting, like two infants trying hammer fist each other in the face.

Just a publicity seeking whore.

As bad as HMC is, he'd f*ck Shaq up!

On second thoughts, if he wants a fight, feed him to Minowaman!

He's been training MMA for years .. He does a lot of charity work btw, he isn't an attention digging whore

It's just that, if something interests a celebrity, they become attention wanting whores

Anyway .. 5 YEARS AGO, MAYBE .. But injuries have fucked him up, it's surprising that someone with his body has lasted so long in the nba

Yeah, I don't agree with the whore comments. He has been top level nba since the early 90's and done loads for the sport and for charity around the world.

On MMA though, if he got you, you'd be f"£$%ed. He's big, strong much more athletic than he looks (when compared other forwards of the same size). There are hand prints of his at the nba store and I swear they are bigger than two of my hands!

In response to a guy that big getting hold of you and you being screwed.. I have two words for you: MARCUS JONES.

On the Shaq front, it'll never happen unless the UFC is determined to go down the freakshow fight route.

Also don't see how he'd ever get down to 265 at his age, he walks around at 325 or something stupid like that!

Ha, I loved Marcus Jones. He wasn't actually that big though in comparison to Shaq who is half a foot taller! You're right about the weight thing though.

I think we will see more american sportsmen getting into it though as the popularity increases.

Yup Marcus jones was the first name I thought of

big baby, of the boston celtics is a big guy, but quite chubby, he does a lot of mma , so much so that he did get warned about doing it so much and getting injured and missing game time

Shaq .. Injuries have ruined his already slow movement, as much as he wants to do mma, he will never get to do it, the physical stress his body has been through, means there is no chance
