Adama Traore shows off his monstrous strength by FLOORING Calvin Bassey during friendly tussle in the Fulham changing room as fans tell the hulking winger 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.

Go and fight him he will throw you across the room.' Meanwhile, fans pointed out 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 host Silva's old side Everton at Craven Cottage on Saturday before a west London derby against Brentford. Fans took to social media to suggest that Fulham star Adama Traore should try his hand at UFC The Portuguese boss has been linked with a move away from Fulham. One Saudi outlet claimed the manager is willing to join Al-Hilal, who sacked their head coach Jorge Jesus last week, before the Club World Cup begins in June. But Silva, who is contracted at Craven Cottage until 2026 and turned down a £40m deal to manage Al Ahli in 2023, brushed aside rumours of an impending exit.

Fulham 3-2 Liverpool - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Fulham and Liverpool. Here are some of your comments:Fulham fansBill: Super performance and a great bounceback from the Crystal Palace game. First half was stunning and and we were pretty much untouchable. Showed great character in second half to hold the lead and finally win. Four points out of six against the best in the Big win for Fulham on the back of a fine first half. Hanging on at the end but you need some luck against the top teams who are not invincible. Calvin Bassey, Sander Berge and Rodrigo Muniz excellent for Fulham. Europe still Played outstandingly. Bassey came back with force, Ryan Sessegnon showed he can make an impact and Muniz completely fooled the Liverpool fansPhil: Liverpool looked like they didn't want to win the game until Luis Diaz and Conor Bradley came on. So many back passes. Need a bit of heavy metal football back in our No panic but what a lacklustre display. A masterclass in giving the ball away. We seem to excel in giving ourselves a second half challenge, which we failed at on this occasion although at least upped our game. Taking nothing away from Fulham who played really well, but I would expect to take something out of that It's clearly been a long season - the players look knackered! But Arne Slot has a lot of work to do during the summer. There are players that I think need to leave and players that need to be brought in. We lost that game today in the first half. You can't expect to win a game when you concede three goals in 15 minutes. The entire back four were at fault for goals today. I think most of those players will be glad when this season is over.
