Kyle Maynard Is Doing It Right
I want to talk about Kyle Maynard.
This kid is totally gaming the system. He has no lower legs, so he is a perpetually downed opponent. No kicks. Plus, he has no knees. No knee bars. He has no elbows. No armbars. He has minimized the avenues for submission and maximized his torso strength vs. that of the average fighter in his weight class. Plus, he can buy cheaper baby-sized shoes.
Maynard is the future of MMA as we know it. [ed -- I call bullshit.] It harkens back to a training regimen I developed in my spare time, called “The Whammer.” What you do is you take a 120-lb guy and only work out his right arm. That’s right, only the right arm. Curls, military, bench, flies, the whole nine yards. You can put 35 lbs on in just that one arm and still fight in the 155 range. And, best yet, you’ll have a goddamn nuclear weapon in the ring. You’ll probably only have to swing it once.
Just don’t get low-kicked because your chicken legs will collapse faster than Elite XC.
Update: Kyle Maynard lost in a unanimous decision while fighting in a barn back in April. Let’s hope we get to see him at some decent venues in the future.
