Double amputee will make his MMA debut in April. It's like a no-legged man in an ass-kicking contest
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.

I wish him the best of luck. He's certainly not going in with a leg up on the competition.

I couldn't in good conscious fight him in the realm of a sporting event. That being said, he'd probably kick my ass anyway. But you get my point.

I got a chuckle thinking how funny it would be if some random chump screwed with him on the street and got his ass handed to him.
