Shaq Challenges MMA Fighters

'I'm coming for you' after retirement, he says

Share

(Newser) – Shaquille O’Neal may be headed into the fighting ring after retirement. The 7-foot-1 NBA star posted a video challenging Mixed Martial Arts star Chuck Liddell and Korean kickboxer Hong Man Choi to matches. Choi—who’s an inch taller than Shaq—recently crushed retired baseball player Jose Conseco within two minutes, BallerStatus notes. “I’m retiring the next year, 2 years,” O’Neal says in the video. “I’m coming for you.”
