One of the most controversial topics of 2009 in the world of MMA
involved congenital amputee Kyle Maynard’s quest for success as a mixed
martial artist.
Praised as a motivational hero by some and cursed as a freak show by
others, Maynard nevertheless stepped in the cage for an August 2009
amateur bout, where he suffered a unanimous-decision loss.
Earlier this year, SnagFilms released a documentary chronicling
Maynard’s journey. The film, titled “A Fighting Chance,” will now be
featured on ESPN2.
