Default First quadruple amputee step into the MMA cage!

Kyle1.jpg

Kyle Maynard was born March 24, 1986 with a condition known as congenital amputation.



Kyle’s athletic journey began as an 11-year-old that wanted to wrestle and a coach that gave him an opportunity to try. After losing every single match his first year and most his second, Maynard, with his iron will and parents who wouldn’t let him give up on himself, found a way to win 36 varsity matches his senior year; defeating several state place finishers and state champions during his final season.

In April of 2009, Kyle became the first quadruple amputee to step into the cage and compete as an amateur mixed martial arts fighter.



I'm not taking away anything from Kyle Mynard and what he's accomplished but this is so DAMN STUPID!!!!!



Here is his first fight in the cage:

Even if you win against this guy, you lose for beating up a cripple.
