Kyle Maynard is an incredible GA wrestler who was born without arms below the elbows or legs below the knees, a condition knows as “Congenital Amputation.” Despite a condition that may have limited many of us, Kyle has not let it stop him in the least.

After earning a formidable reputation as a high school wrestler - winning 35 matches at varsity level and placing in the top 10 in his state tournament. He is now studying Jiu-Jitsu and wants to compete in MAA. He indicated that he knows and understands the sport and believes he can compete on a part with other MMA practitioners, but the GA State Commission refused to issue him a license.
What do you think of that decision?
Do you think there should be limitations placed on adult individuals of sound mind who want to try out MMA events?
