FOX Sports NFL insider and mixed martial arts trainer Jay Glazer believes rapper Wiz Khalifa could make the transition to MMA.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Glazer, who owns and runs the Unbreakable Performance Center in Los Angeles, said he's been hit by the likes of Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, and Chicago Bears guard Kyle Long during sparring sessions, but Khalifa is "the only dude who's hurt me with body shots."
Asked if he thinks Khalifa has a legitimate chance against a professional MMA fighter, Glazer replied, "Yeah, oh yeah ... his work ethic is ridiculous."
Glazer isn't encouraging Khalifa to give up rapping, though.
"I hope he continues to make his money without getting punched in the face," Glazer said.
