Dwight Howard may be making a quick venue change: From the basketball court to the UFC Octagon. During a backstage visit at a UFC fight in Houston, the Rockets’ big man told UFC president Dana White recently that he’d be willing to go into the cage … for $10 million.

“I would get up there and fight. If I get knocked out, I get knocked out,” Howard said. “I’ll get back up one day.”

White immediately interjected. “I want to do that pay-per-view when you’re ready, man,” he said.

Howard’s Rockets’ teammate Chandler Parsons said he’d do the fight for $10 million but didn’t think it would go that well.

“I would literally f— die,” he said.

Luckily for Rockets fans who may be wondering if Howard remembers at all that he’s struggled a bit with injuries, Howard did say eventually in this clip. Meaning, it could wait until after he retires.

You can watch the trio debate the merits of them getting in the Octagon starting around the 4:25 mark in this video (Warning: There’s some adult language in this video).
