Shaquille O’Neal is a true physical specimen. Fans have never seen anybody run the court with that size and strength since Big Diesel hung up his jersey. His monstrous physical dimensions helped him dominate his opponents throughout his career. Even backboards were not safe from a prime Shaq. But it’s not just rims that the 2000 MVP likes to see broken. Shaq enjoys watching a good fight too. O’Neal has always been a fan of MMA. Recently, fans observed the 51-year-old with an Australian fighter as he assumed his DJ Diesel avatar.

He spun some tracks to celebrate the championship victory of a certain UFC Champion on Saturday night. Thanks to his good relationship with Dana White, Shaq’s millionaire son also had the time of his life.

Shaquille O’Neal dwarfs UFC Champion

One of the most dominant runs in MMA history, Alexander Volkanovski, won the featherweight title in 2019. He defended his featherweight belt for the fifth time last week, earning a spectacular third-round victory against Yair Rodriguez. ‘The Great’, who stands at 5’6 tall, has dominated every opponent in his division. After another successful title defense, he was seen celebrating in style with none other than 7’1 Shaquille O’Neal.

As the featherweight champion made an entry into the club, he gave a dab to Shaq and they danced to the tunes played by DJ Diesel. The interesting thing was to see the massive height difference between the two, as Shaq is almost 20 inches taller!

In 2009, Shaq fought the 11-time world champion, Oscar De La Hoya. Despite having 14 inches and several pounds on the boxer, Shaq fell short in the fight. While the former NBA star claimed he held back, the event made it clear that height wasn’t everything.

Irrespective of his stature, Volkanovski has been dominating each one of his opponents in the past three years. Fans and media often consider him to be the greatest featherweight fighter in UFC history. Much like Shaq, who fans consider to be one of the most dominant hoopers of all time.
