Zlatan Ibrahimovic's alternate career choice: 'Probably something within the UFC'

There are few characters more graceful and acrobatic than Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The big Swedish striker seems to defy the laws of physics with his acrobatic kicks, flicks, and tricks, all while standing tall at 6-foot-5.

Such a lumbering figure makes for quite a headache for opposition defenders, but Ibrahimovic says that had his soccer career not panned out, he'd be delivering those aerial kicks somewhere a little more painful than against the side of a flying ball.

"My father wanted me to be a lawyer but I have a hard time seeing me as a lawyer," Ibrahimovic told Bleacher Report, when asked what he thought he'd be doing if he weren't a footballer. "I'm a huge UFC fighter - sorry, UFC fan - so probably something within the UFC or martial arts. I would see myself good in that."

To be a fighter, one must have discipline and mental strength to go alongside a strong physical presence, something Ibrahimovic displays in abundance, in a sometimes creepy way.
