JAKARTA - Footless wrestler Zion Clark made history in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA). He made his MMA debut by facing non-disabled opponents.

Amazingly, Clark won in his first game. He beat Eugene Murray at the Gladiator Challenge: Seasons Beatings in San Diego, Saturday evening, December 17 local time.

MMA fans were initially skeptical of the match. But then praised Clark's performance after he scored the victory by unanimous decision.

Clark deftly used his wrestling skills to beat Murray in a three-round fight. His victory was met with great joy from the audience, friends and loved ones.

MMA fans quickly commented on the inspiring moment on social media. Some have respect, some call Clark a true inspiration. "This is truly extraordinary," said one MMA fan on social media.

Clark was born without a lower body due to causal regression syndrome, a disorder that inhibits the development of the lower spine.

However, he didn't let the disease stop him from competing in various sports. In fact, he has ambitions to compete in the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics.

"People will make fun of me because I don't have legs. The best way to deal with haters is to use hatred to lift yourself up," Clark said.

"The haters are your biggest fans - use that for your benefit."
