Why is this guy allowed to fight?
How does he train/workout lol?
Who would agree to fight him?
How the fuck could he win?
Also, why is that guy so defensive fighting him ?

Why is he fighting? It's like allowing him to fight so as to make him a joke to poke fun at. It seems mean

watch some of his other videos on you tube. He wrestled in high school lost alot at first but then his coach taught him tricks he could use, then he won alot and he made it to the state finals or some thing

on a side note that guy has got some heart

High school wrestling is a joke compared to MMA though. 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.

yah i've seen him win in wresling.. He can compete against really weak guys in MMA like in that video =)

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

this happened in my town

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?

i hear ya against a skilled mma fighter im sure he would get his asskicked. how ever he weighted in at like 134 and the guy he was fighting did too. Still thought in the first video it seemed like that guy could have banged him in the face a few more times but he seemed to hold back. I don't know alot about mma i assume u can't kick some one directly in the face. but i don't know why he didn't throw body kicks he can't grasp his leg and stop him.

Good for him for having such heart but still, odd as hell to see or even think about.

Well, it sure as hell does guilt trip me into making me do something and stop dicking around.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!

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

yea I heard from a friend that he was going to fight and i was like wtf. he seemed pretty good in wrestling, saw a vid, but thats cuz you dont do any strikes or punches in wrestling. he wanted an mma license and then finally he got one and got a fight.

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.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

So he's considered a ground opponent at all times and therfore you can't kick him in the face? Rules 14-16

but he himself has to abide by rule #1 (no head butts).

PS- what's up with rule 31, You can't throw in the towel to stop the fight from your corner?

It's his dream, it's his life. He cannot possibly get seriously injured as all serious injuries in MMA are from submissions. A ko is a ko and is the same for everyone and will have you up and competing in a matter of weeks. The guy is an inspiration for trying this at all who are we to stop him. Maynard has stated he has no intention of competing against top level guys in MMA, all he wants is a fight amongst amateurs of similar weight.

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.

I applaud the guy for giving it a go, but theres a big difference between wrestling and MMA.

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.
