NO LIMITS FOR THIS GUY

A QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE IS GOING TO MAKE HIS AMATEUR DEBUT TOMORROW NIGHT . . . IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS:

Two years ago, 23-year-old Kyle Maynard of Suwanee, Georgia was all set to make his amateur debut as a mixed martial arts fighter. But before he even got in the cage . . . Georgia state officials ruled that Kyle was ineligible to fight. Why? Because Kyle was born with a condition called congenital amputation . . . which left him with NO ARMS OR LEGS below his elbows and knees.

In other words, Kyle's a QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE. Officials for the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission say they denied Kyle's license to fight . . . for HIS OWN SAFETY. But, apparently, officials in Alabama aren't so concerned, because they've given Kyle the go-ahead to fight in an amateur mixed martial arts event tomorrow . . . called the Auburn Fight Night at Auburn University.

Now, I know what you're thinking. Kyle is going to get completely SMOKED . . . right? Well, maybe. But he might have a better shot than you think. Hear me out . . .

#1.) In high school, Kyle was a star wrestler and he finished his career with a varsity record of 35 wins and 16 losses.

#2.) Kyle can benchpress 360 pounds.

#3.) Kyle will be fighting in the 135-pound weight class . . . but he has the strength of a much larger man.

According to the referee scheduled to work Kyle's fight, "I think Kyle's going to win. If the opponent tries to engage him, Kyle is strong enough to take him down. "Kyle didn't have an accident part way through his life. He was born like this. He hasn't had to adjust, so he knows how to handle all the moves he needs." (Yahoo Sports)

(--First of all, I'd like to commend Kyle for his "balls of steel". Really. I've got full use of all my limbs . . . and you wouldn't catch me anywhere near a mixed martial arts fight. This says a whole lot about Kyle's character and determination. GO KYLE!!)
