Matt Betzold (the first amputee MMA fighter) wins by arm bar

[Stallya]

And here I thought he'd be in the karate section... A little too hopeful

Peter Verschuren of Holland only had one hand. he fought mainly in Holland during the late 90's and early 00's. Think he was from the Kamakura Dojo, though i could be wrong.

great job matt! must be hard with your leg like that, but you adapted really well and you show that you arent a pushover!! congrats :)

[grapplingaz]

at the moment or any time soon. Could be a set back for both of us........ but hey you never know. I have seen stranger things happen.

[grapplingaz]

I walk around at 135, have and will fight at 145 and 135. My Ideal fight weight is 125 though, it's ok they are just building that weight class now. And third, I believe that Nick and I are against making a special division for us to fight in. We are both just getting started in the world of MMA. We are proving that we are not disabled or handicap. Even though some may say we are. Fighting able bodies proves that we are just as able. I don't believe it will be good for either of our careers...

Hey @Bulldog, Nick Newell is his name yes. It would be a interesting fight, I agree. There are some problems with that though. For one I am Nick's friend and I don't like fighting friends........ Look I'm not saying I haven't fought a friend one day to become better friends the next. The only difference between Nick Newell vs I is we both would get paid for it. Second we are in different weight classes. I don't know what he walks around at but Nick fights at 155.

[ben22283]

Beautiful my man. . Good Shit

[Crazyriders07]

You know, I clicked on this thinking I'd see another freak show. My apologies. This guy has some wickedly strong arms and sick jiu jitsu.

[SCROGY]

God damn, that's some inspirational **** right there.

No shame losing to you man, you have sick jits. JJM has no fingers on one hand and he won Abu Dahbi.

[Devon187]

is this you? keep at it man..

[usnationalist]

wow, slick

[colbs1O]

the guy he beat was the guy refing this match!

[MMAquick]

[legnomassello]

Grande esempio per tutti noi!!

[witegetobro]

[beckstoy2]

Hey Matt, freaking sweet transition! Hey, I'm excited to watch you in RITC 135 this weekend! I'll be there at the ring taking pictures - get with me afterwards and I'll make sure you get copies.
