Guy With No Arms and Legs Going To Fight In MMA

mma

 

MMA.com - 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.

Umm, can I ask a dumb question?  Who is Kyle fighting?   Listen I’m all for dudes with disabilities making their mark in the world.   I really am.   But how can this guy be an MMA fighter?  I mean I’m not a tough guy, but I fucking guarantee you I’d beat Kyle into submission so fast it would make your head spin.  I mean how can he defend himself against kicks to the face?That’s legal in MMA right?   I’d just keep booting this dude in the grill mix until he was wearing my toes as his teeth.    Again I’m all for this guy following his dream, but there is no way he should be allowed to fight in MMA unless it’s against 4 year old girls or other dudes with no limbs.   Because once you step in that octagon you owe it to the sport to try and cripple whoever is in front of you regardless of how many limbs they may or may not have.
