Default guy w/ NO arms/legs to fight MMA



]http://www.mmafighting.com/news/2009...make-mma-debut

Kyle Maynard, born with his arms at his elbows and his legs at his knees, will make his MMA debut on April 25 in Auburn, Alambama. The amateur fight will happen at "Auburn Fight Night" at the Auburn Covered Center. The 22-year-old Maynard in 2004 won the ESPN ESPY award Best Athlete With A Disability. Maynard was previously denied a license to fight MMA by the Georgia Athletic & Entertainment Commission.

who's he going to fight a 3 yr old. I mean no disrespect but he has no advantage over a fullsize fighter who can just sit and kick the shit out of him from 3 feet away.

I've seen wrestlers missin one limb win but nothing like that.

I so do not mean to be cruel here but this is making me think of Monty Python's and the Holy Grail

"It's just a flesh wound"

"What are you going to do, bleed on me?"

"Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!"

I'm sorry but I'm cracking up over here. But I will admit I am interested to see him fight. No, really...

Nobody will want to fight that guy either. If you win, you look like a loser for beating up a handicap guy. If you lose you look like a loser for getting beat up buy a handicap guy. Either way it's..... FAIL.

Okay, so we got "What do you call a man with no arms and no legs in a boxing ring"... what's the punchline? Mat?

It's good that the guy has enough self confidence to attempt this, but WTF thought this was a good idea?

Rider summed it well, it's a no win situation unless he can find another similarly handicapped guy to fight.
