Affirmative Action

Caveat: This post is by no means intended to make fun of people with disabilities.  Contrarily, this post is meant to praise an individual that has excelled with what may be perceived as a legitimate disadvantage...It's no secret that I'm a big fan of fighting.  I'm also kind of a closet equal rights freak. (I'm working on it, anyway.)  The Notorious Nick Newell is a really good fighter with a record of 12 wins 1 loss.  The dude was born without a left arm below the elbow.  But did I say he's really good? Yeah, most of his fights end in the 1st round, so don't feel bad that he only has one arm. He wouldn't want you to.  I've seen him do if a few times.  Nick beats dudes up in a way that makes them look bad.  He's fun, exciting, and a great personality for MMA.  Seems like a cool dude.  For all I know, he might like At The Gates.  I do feel bad for his opponents, though.  In the eyes of the unfamiliar, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.  If you win, you just beat a dude with one arm, you're a dick.  If you lose, you just lost to a dude with one arm...  Tough spot to be in. Ultimately, there's a pretty good chance you'll get choked out, anyway you fool.. In all seriousness, do you wanna know the secret to beat this guy? Right high kick. xoxo
