Found another where he actually does BJJ ontop of the other training.

The NHS health trainer eventually wants to become semi-professional and compete in caged Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions. MMA involves various disciplines, which include kickboxing, jiujitsu and wrestling.
Although he has been learning kickboxing, jujitsu and Brazilian jiujitsu in Downham and Lynn for the past two-and-a-half-years he has only taken up MMA in the past three months.

The amputee was an Iraq vet and got his ass handed to him which he was happy about cause he just wanted to give it a go. I remember wanting to put it on here because the dude was a fucking hero, supposedly the standing ovation lasted longer than the bout, but I found it while surfing on the iPhone and I am not that technologically savvy. It was on the underground in the last week or so if someone wanted to look for it, but I don't have access to a computer. Sorry.

Somehow it doesn't seem too fair of a fight when the other guy literally has a shin of steel.

There was a paralimpic runner who had the same problem because his prothetics were considered an unfair advantage.

I will try and find the link

Actually that was a whole lot easier than I thought.

and the fighter might be Ron Mann and uses the Venture foot prothetic

I seen wrestlers with 1 arm to no arms, Wrestlers with 1 leg to no legs...and wrestlers with no legs and arms.

Their fighting spirits are amazing! Will look for vids.

We're especially interested in the vid with the guy with no arms fighting the guy with no legs.
