MMA fighter with No Arms or Legs

[Dimmauk]

Congenital amputee Kyle Maynard's long road to Saturday's MMA debut - MMA - Yahoo! Sports

Maynard was born March 24, 1986, with a condition called congenital amputation, which left no elbows or knees or limbs below them.

For some reason this story reminded me of this

how do they get someone to agree to fight him?


"Hi, how would you like to be either the guy that got beat up by a dude with no arms or legs, or the guy that beat up a dude with no arms or legs?"

I guess arm and knee bars, and ankle locks wont work on him.

somehow kicking this guy in the temple would feel less satisfying

It's just a flesh wound!

first thing that popped in my head when i saw the title.

[Azkarin2]

I knew it would be him when I read the title. He went to a rival high school and to my college (UGA). I've had some friends wrestle against him and he has a few advantages.

First, he is a strong ass dude and with half of his extremities gone he wrestles against much smaller kids. So he definitely had a strength advantage.

Second, like posted above a lot of joint moves won't work on him lol. It was also hard to pin him since he was so strong and he could get leverage easier and avoid pins.

Third, he fights dirty. My friends always would tell me he would bite and use the nubs to push on pressure points. Never heard a good story about him on the mat. In his spare time he does do a bunch of motivational speeches so outside the mat he seems like a good dude.

how i tap out?

[Dimmauk]

He looks like a real life Tarutaru.

Id just kick and punch at him. Not like he could take me down.

... Is this a joke? Wrestling has some rules, MMA really doesnt, anyone could take this dude. I wouldnt bother trying to pin/submit him or anything, just kcik and punch his unguarded face a few times and it's over.

This was along the lines of what I thought as well....are you (the opponent of the arm/legless guy) either a pussy, or a complete dick? I can't see this career in MMA lasting too long.

I'm really confused how this fight would look. Do they start on opposite sides when the fight starts? fucking kick and punch and stay the fuck back, easy win

[Crouchingllama]

i just want to know how he does a 420 lb butterfly press.

sure it's altering the rules of MMA a bit, but I'd say let him fight, with a friggin' doc hanging off the cage.

[Kurp]

I can see wrestling, but not MMA. How does he defend his head from strikes?

read the article the OP linked, the rules would consider him a downed fighter, so no kicking him while he's down...

I would just taunt him and make him crawl in circles.

punch punch punch punch round over...it's not like he is going to grab the fist and stop it

how fucking funny would it be if his opponent just repeatedly picked him up and threw him across the ring continuously

[Ramor]

But you could still strike his head area in some manner is the point, making it still a relatively easy fight

[Dimmauk]

I can see wrestling, but not MMA.

Whats next? Ladder matches, Guys eatting the cage padding, and battle royal fights for MMA?

Why not just fucking pick the guy up by the neck, squeeze the shit out of him, then throw him across the ring?
