Paraplegic Kyle Maynard making MMA debut


I'm all for rooting on the underdog, but this might borderline on the absolutely f*cking ridiculous. Kyle Maynard, a paraplegic who earned an ESPY for "best athlete with a disability" in 2004 for racking up a 35-16 wrestling record, is making his Amateur MMA this Saturday night in Auburn, Alabama against an unnamed opponent.

I'll post a video of him wrestling below, which is actually pretty impressive that he's able to not only defend himself but win a match, but MMA is a LOT different than wrestling. Wrestling is holds and takedowns and manuevers -- MMA is trying to legit incapacitate your opponent with chokes, punches, kicks, and everything in between until you knock your opponent out or make him tap/submit. Whoever the hell would grant a license for him is on crack. But anyway, good luck to Kyle...we're pullin for ya here at the Dirt!

Chuck "Iceman" Liddell's UFC career likely over


It's looking like UFC fighter Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell is calling it a career after his fight against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua on Saturday night. Shogun knocked Chuck out in just over 4 minutes, notching Chuck's 4th loss in his last 5 fights, and this 3rd time being KO'ed. UFC president Dana White said that even though Chuck still draws a huge crowd (he got a standing ovation at the end of the fight), his career is done. He said even if Chuck would've won, it probably would've been over too unless it was a real impressive win.

If you're not sure who the Iceman is, or are just starting to get interested in UFC and other MMA organizations, go YouTube him. He's an incredible fighter!!
