Props to this guy. He is missing his left leg from the knee down and has a 6-2 pro record, with 5 of those wins via submission. He's fighting for the belt at WFF 18
Here's him getting a RNC

Huh. I've got mixed feelings.
On one level it's awesome. Congrats to him for getting in there and beating dudes, two legs or not.
From another point of view, so he's always considered a downed opponent? If you're fighting him you're never allowed to try and knee or kick him in the head? It's kind of weird and probably pretty frustrating to his opponents. You almost HAVE to play his game and get in close, otherwise there is no fight.

I was hoping this was going to be about Anthony Robles. Pretty impressive. Where you at Palhares!?

I get what you are saying Gregory, but it is only a regional promotion and really if the guy wants to fight and their are opponents for him - I'm fine with it. I would be great to have MMA or a combat sport in competitions like PanAm Games, or even the ParaOlympics (which right now only have Judo for the blind I believe), but until that time comes (and it may never) I say let.
Matt is no Nick Prindell though.
