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.

BTW, what the hell weight class is he fighting in? I don't think they have a 75 pound class. I'm only goofing, and wish this guy all the best. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't see how this guy can seriously contend in MMA. Also, who the hell would agree to fight him. If you win, you're a jerk for beating up a quadruple amputee, and if you lose......
