How is possible?

This raises so many question.

What weightclass would he fight in?

Does he wear gloves? ...where?

How can he possibly defend chokes?

But most of all: WHAT?

You cant kick or knee him, as his knees are ALWAYS down. Wrestling is worlds apart from MMA.

I can't believe how tenacious this kid is.

He's been very vocal about wanting to fight MMA and has already been denied the chance (rightfully so) by an athletic commission before. http://www.bullshido.net/forums/show...yle+Maynard%22

To answer the weight class question, Maynard walks (crawls?) at about 125, but has said that he could move up to 135 if it would help him get an opponent. http://www.bullshido.net/forums/show...yle+Maynard%22

I really don't think any commisson or promoter in their right mind should ever let him fight, and I think this fight will probably fall through in the coming weeks. If he does actually manage to fight, it'll be entertaining as hell, but I can't imagine any possible way it would be anything less than a handicap beatdown. Not to mention how bad the backlash on the sport would be.

I wasn't suggesting posting the video to show he could do it.

I honestly see no way how this will be anything other than
a) an absolutel massacre
b) his opponent being very kind.

I admit I don't know squat about what good submission grappling looks like.

...does he have any game?
