Shaquille O’Neal is quite a character off the court, his career cannot be debated, his great skills marked an era in the NBA, not to mention his physical abilities, he is 2 meters tall and weighs more than 136 kilos and had absolute dominance in that area
Since his retirement, he has been in charge of staying in the media, remaining relevant and adapting to any role. He is that charismatic character who cannot be missing from an analysis program. Definitely his career is top, but outside the arenas, he is at the level of what he did to amaze us
That extravagant personality has a great presence due to his physical condition, which makes him an imposing figure and attracts attention
That’s why Shaq already has other goals in mind, far from analyzing the NBA on sports shows.

Shaquille O’Neal wants to fight in the UFC
That’s right, you read that right. Shaq wants to get into the octagon and he’s not afraid to make his “dream” come true. The former basketball player has been possessed by the passion of MMA. He has embraced Brazilian jiu-jitsu, trained with legends and went to the extreme of facing former UFC champion Forrest Griffin, all for the pure ecstasy of combat!
In addition, Dana White himself has revealed that Shaq tormented his phone with messages roaring: “Listen to me, Dana, I’m going to get into the UFC octagon.”
Who does Shaq want to get into the octagon with?
I would have liked to fight… What’s his name? Tank. I would have liked to fight Tank, yes,” Shaquille O’Neal said in a recent interview, in a clear challenge to Tank Abbott
He may say it with a sense of humor, but the reality is that if the former Laker wants it, he can get it
However, thinking about it is unimaginable, because who could have that image of Shaq in a UFC octagon? At 51 years of age, it could be the biggest impediment to this happening.
