25-year-old Zion Clark took the MMA world by storm after his debut this past weekend and now has the attention of  Conor McGregor. Clark, who was born with no legs, secured the victory over his able-bodied opponent and received praise and commendations from the MMA community. Now, former UFC champion McGregor has shared a congratulatory message to Clark, while also sharing a few tips for his future opponents.

The Irishman responded to a clip from Clark’s debut on Twitter. He sounded thoroughly impressed with what he witnessed and gave his own observations about Clark’s game.

The 25-year-old former All-American wrestler reciprocated McGregor’s respect and shared his excitement for the future.

Conor McGregor on how to fight Zion Clark

While Conor McGregor had nothing but good things to say about Clark, he also tried to decode Clark’s fighting style. McGregor commented on the former D1 wrestler‘s speed of entry for the takedown. The former two-division champion also advised against connecting with Clark in “any shape or form.”

In his opinion, it is better to fight Clark by finding frames to strike from. He also congratulated Clark and remarked how MMA is the best sport.

In a response to his previous tweet, McGregor elaborated further on how to fight Clark. Being a grounded opponent, opponents cannot kick Clark. Therefore, McGregor said, “the only way to stop him is to develop ko ending shots mid transitions in grappling.”

‘The Notorious’ also said, “Very few on the planet possess this skill.” He used Clark’s opponent as an example to show how downward jabs would also be useless, as there would be no power.
