I followed his story on a few MMA sites that I frequent and hands down this guy has more balls than any of the people making fun of him or trying to discourage him. Most "normal" people wouldn't step in to a cage and for him to step up to the plate with underdeveloped appendages shows his determination.I am not sure if anyone watched some of his grappling videos but he is a stud on the ground and most likely will submit any average size grappler since you wouldn't know how to control a guy like that on the ground. Quite a few of the submissions available you wouldn't even be able to use such as ankle locks, kneebars, armbars, wristlocks etc.Having said that there is a reason why no Athletic commission would sanction this fight. These guys know that any kind of physical disadvantage will get you seriously injured. Any average size person can keep out of range with simple footwork and it's simply not fair to match him up with someone like that. If he was matched up with a person with similar disabilities it would be whole different story but matching him up with an average sized fighter is wrong.Luckily the guy he was fighting is a complete tomato that didn't want to engage him on the ground, which would have at least giving Kyle a chance but would he have faced a more well versed opponent this easily could have ended bad. In a sport that is hyped by media and uneducated spectators as bloody bar room brawls the last thing that is needed are these sideshow matchups.There are a ton of professional grappling only tournaments out there that would be better suited for him and would most likely prevent a bad accident waiting to happen.
