Jay Glazer Thinks Wiz Khalifa Could Go Pro in MMA

Jay Glazer respects Wiz Khalifa's work ethic.

Wiz Khalifa has gotten into mixed martial arts recently, and it appears he's actually pretty good. FOX NFL Insider Jay Glazer is also an MMA pundit and gym owner, and Wiz has been training at Glazer's Unbreakable Performance facility.

TMZ Sports caught up with Glazer, and he said he could see Wiz going pro in MMA. That's right—though Wiz Khalifa almost definitely will never fight a pro MMA match, Glazer thinks he could.

"We spar with Wiz in there all the time. All of us," Glazer said. "I've been hit in the body by Chuck [Liddell] many times, Randy [Couture], [NFL player] Kyle Long, the biggest, baddest dudes on the planet. This is going to sound weird: Wiz is the only dude who's hurt me with a body shot, and I got good padding over here...I was like, 'Wiz Khalifa just hurt me. You gotta be kidding me'...everybody's going to say it's crazy."

Glazer said Wiz could fight professionally because "his work ethic is ridiculous." In January, Wiz attended Bellator 192 at The Forum in Inglewood, CA. The rapper seems to be developing a real love for the sport.

Glazer also commented on the potential comeback of UFC legend Liddell, who has also been training at Unbreakable Performance.

"He's looking great, man," Glazer said. "Here's the thing about Chuck: everything Chuck does hurts...his range on elbows, it sucks training with Chuck Liddell. It's terrible. It's awful."

A number of celebrities train at Glazer's gym—Snoop Dogg, Usher, Chris Pratt, and more.
