Topic: I'm Sorry, But This Has Got To Be Some Kind Of Joke.

a cruel cruel joke.

Seriously, what is he gonna do? Bite your ankle? Make you feel bad for kicking a poor defenseless human being repeatedly in the face just even though he's asking for it?

I've gotta find some video.


but some pics in the mean time:

Pretty funny. A guy who has an irreversible condition since birth trying not to let the condition weigh him down in life and prevent him from acheiving his dreams. Worth making a thread joking about it, I reckon. Guys like this need to learn they aren't ever going to acheive what us "normies" are. He should just lay down and die.

I hope you find the video soon and let the lols continue!

I understand the triumph of man and a single man achieving despite his shortcomings.

But come on. what is he supposed to do in the ring besides be the punching bag and the kick ball?

and this was never a "haha look at this guy" type of thread.

[size=78%]This is like someone showing up in Fast&Furious6 and betting Ludicrous $100K that he could beat his best driver, in his best car using this stock '68 VW Bug. It just doesn't make sense.[/size]
much like a man with no arms and no legs competing in a MMA Match.


edit: I found the video

How is your MMA career supposed progress once you are known as the guy who beat the amputee guy that couldn't actually fight back?? You'll never be taken serious again.

At least now we know how a one no-legged man would fare in an ass-kicking contest.

[Caliban]

Nonsense. Nonetheless he was willing to try, and experience it for himself, so hopefully he got/learned something out of it.

and this was never a "haha look at this guy" type of thread.

Pray tell then, what sort of thread is this?

I dunno it feels like a thread looking down on someone, but I find it pretty hard to look down on this guy. Here's Kyle Maynard's quote after the match:

"I felt like I gave 100 percent. He didn’t want to go to the ground, and I wasn’t going to win a boxing match with him…I wanted to win so bad, but it was still one of the best moments of my life. A lot of people didn’t think I would last 30 seconds. If you want something bad enough, you’ve got to step in there and do it. I love the sport so much. It would have been so tough to love something so much and never get the chance to taste it….I have to get back on the horse and perfect things. This has given me a taste. I want to get back in there and do it again. I’m only 23 years old. I’ve got a lot of time left athletically.�

I'm pretty sure it was more about being able to compete that winning the fight.

Now after doing a little more research on Kyle Maynard I found out he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Jan. 2012 unassisted. The guy has no fucking limbs and he climbed the highest free-standing mountain in the world. I bet his goal there wasn't to do it world-record time, but to show nay-sayers and people in similar situations to himself that it is possible. The dude's a fucking inspiration.

I commend him for all his accomplishments, I just don't see how that is a serious MMA match.

The opponent could have pummeled him if he wanted to take it seriously as there was almost nothing that Kyle could have done in retaliation, but it would have been like Shaq vs Aaron Carter in a 1 on 1 basketball game.

What do you call a man with no arms and no legs lying on your doorstep?
