I mean how can this guy even get close to any poorly skilled striker? I found these vids of how he works out I mean its cool that the guy has the ambition and shit but he has to know he can't win or even make to the top ranks with such a disadvantage. | ||

It's a midget show to attract the common foes. Naturally any guy from any UFC card would probably kill him in the ring.. | ||

when my friend found the ad on his car on thursday he was just like oh another lame MMA fight because he didn't look too close but then i noticed the guy had no arms and we were like "what the fuck...". we spent quite a while speculating on how he could possibly fight a guy with arms. we were even more confused that the advertisement called him a "grappling veteran"... when the guy had NO ARMS. I pocketed the advertisement and I brought it up later in a conversation as one of those what-the-fuck things and then I was like wait a fucking minute is it just like a badly edited / cut off picture or DOES HE HAVE NO LEGS? My friends thought I was crazy. I NOW KNOW THAT I AM NOT. seriously though WTF? WHAT THE FUCK? | ||

If they have similar rules then quite a few things could possibly be illegal just because hes kinda grounded all the time | ||

he said so himself afterwards that once the fight started he realized the cold truth that he couldnt do much because the reach difference is so huge =( respect to him though for giving it the best fuckin shot he could. and also props to the other fighter for not being a dick and fought mannered. | ||

His opponent has stated his mom works with handicapped people and he wanted to give Kyle Maynard the opportunity to show handicapped people that anythings possible. Major respect to both of them. It's a freak show and I am engrossed watching a handicapped person getting his ass kicked. But that's not his fault. He should be able to live the life he wants to his full enjoyment. | ||

In wrestling, you cant strike a person, you try to incapacitate them, therefore people have to get on the ground with him. However the guy has no limbs you can use to gain control over him, and all his weight is centered in 1 area. He might weigh the same as his opponent, but his muscle mass is going to be a lot higher. Now obviously its still going to be hard to him to pin opponents , but he has at least a fighting chance. In MMA, your opponent doesnt have to get on the ground with you. He can just stand there and throw punches at you. So unless his opponent trips over, its going to be impossible for him to win. | ||

One thing is to try to live a happy life "beating" your dissability and another one is a blind mind trying to get into a staring contest. Whats the point of this, he is just a crawling punching bag he cannot beat a 10yo girl | ||

Then my views are totally different, sudden deep respect for him for trying so hard despite his handicaps and other people's criticism. Although he could have found other ways to show his determination... wrestling is just simply too weird. | ||

I have no idea =) They probably have similar rules to those used in the UFC but how they interpretative them when someones is a torso is anyone's guess. I think he should retire with his great wrestling stats in the pocket and hope for new science to give him robotic limbs | ||

Literally he has absolutely no hope to beat anyone in that mma ring unless they take pitty on him and his disability... Anyone who sees this as inspirational confuses me, what's inspirational about a guy refusing to accept that he cannot do something not matter how bad he wants it or how hard he tries, becoming an internet joke in the process? | ||

Whats the point of this, he is just a crawling punching bag he cannot beat a 10yo girl I actually think I agree with Baal on this.. Like, the "skill" difference between him and any non-disabled person is so big that if there was that kind of gap between two non-disabled fighters, nobody in their right mind would book that fight. It's only possible because he's handicapped and nobody sane is gonna seriously beat him up.. Which makes it into a circus show. Yeah, it's his life but I don't have to like it just because that's true :/ | ||

Or my favorite, pick him up and throw him across the room then elbow drop his spine. | ||

They had to put it in the rules somehow, so they make throwing in the towel illegal so that doing so ends the fight :p ie- you give up by DQing yourself via towel. | ||

I'll tell you this though, if i fought him i would do my best to murder him in the ring. I think a guy like this almost wants to get beat up and face someone better then him. He wants to test himself against people and he doesn't care if he loses or wins he just wants to say "see that? i went against this guy who's not bad and i didn't get knocked out!" or something along those lines. So i would grant his wish by mashing him into submission! | ||

I would find it too demeaning to fight him, so if I found myself in the ring with him I would just bunny hop over him the whole time lol. Also, wouldn't he be screwed if you got him in a rear naked choke? I dunno exactly but I would guessthe other way around. rnc requires you to lock his legs with your legs so that his body can't spin anymore. if there are no legs I think rnc just isn't viable at all. | ||
