"I'd like to fight one guy. I'd like to call out, they say pick on someone your own size. That guy would be Hong Man Choi out of Korea. Seven footer fighting seven footer. That'll probably be my one and only fight. At 38 it'd probably not be advantageous for me to get it in with these young animals... cause that's what they are."

-Shaquille O'Neal talks to Jon Anik at ESPN about the one fight he'd like to have in MMA.

Penick's Analysis: I can't see the UFC actually putting this fight on, as it's nothing but a "freak show" bout, but I can't say it wouldn't be interesting to see. Shaq continues to be a supporter and fan of the sport, but him actually stepping into a ring or cage to fight would be nothing more than a spectacle.
