Adama Traore wrestled Calvin Bassey to the floor in a friendly bout, urged to try UFC

Fulham winger Adama Traore has shown off his monstrous strength by powerfully flooring team-mate Calvin Bassey.

The 29-year-old, who is notorious for his impressive physique, dumped the centre-back on the ground during a light-hearted play fight in the dressing room at Fulham's Motspur Park training ground.

In a video first posted on Snapchat by Alex Iwobi with the caption 'LOOK AT THE STRENGTH!', the pair can be seen wrestling in front of amused team-mates before Traore twists Bassey, pushing him to the ground and leaving him lying flat on the floor.

The dressing room antics elicit a hilarious response from onlookers who are impressed by the former Barcelona forward's power.

The video was then reshared on Instagram and captioned: 'VIOLATION. Adama casually flooring Calvin Bassey in their training facility dressing room.

Bassey, who joined Fulham in 2023 and represents Nigeria internationally, was quick to defend himself.

Responding to the Instagram post, he said: 'How's that a violation? ' Go and fight him, he will throw you across the room.'

Meanwhile, fans pointed out that the Spaniard should try his hand at UFC.

One said: 'Lol, would've had better chances with UFC than with football.'

Another added: 'His agent should call Dana White. A summer UFC fight won't be bad.

Fulham currently sit in 11th place in the Premier League as they battle to secure the final European qualification spot.

Eighth place will equal a Europa Conference League berth if Manchester City beat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final.

Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton and Marco Silva's side are separated by just two points with three league matches remaining.

Fulham lost to Silva's old side, Everton, at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Their next match is a west London derby against Brentford.
