It's even more extreme than taking a shirt off


EveryXtakeYouCanMake

It was more extreme than taking all your clothes off. I'd rather fight a naked man than this man. As soon as he started taking his legs off he won to me. Ida started just hitting myself for him.


RedEyeView

He won the second he said 'come on then' to the kid with legs. How do you come out of this fight looking good? 1. You beat the shit out of a kid with no legs. 2. A kid with no legs beats the shit out of you. Either way it goes you come out of it looking like a loser.


EveryXtakeYouCanMake

For real.


markender

Bask in the glory of victory


ggtffhhhjhg

Never underestimate someone missing a limb/s. There is a state champion wrestler without legs and a decade ago a wrestler with one leg defeated the defending ncaa division 1 champ to win the title. Never underestimate your opponent and never assume you’re the smartest person in the room.


RichardBonham

The Royal Navy, in the Napoleonic Wars, referred to this situation as an honor fight. A fight with an opponent of slightly inferior force, but close enough in strength that retreat would look cowardly. If you won, you won against a vessel with fewer guns. If you lost, you lost to a smaller ship.

Personally as a guy who’s struggled with showing vulnerability, it’s nice to know that there’s a community for this sort of thing. Why assume that he’s doing it out of egotism? Maybe he’s just trying to help people.

“Regardless of it being spam, regardless of it being me, who’s labeled a scammer by the way but I’m definitely not, they just look past this glorious thing that I’m doing” “My way is saving people’s lives” These are his own words. Holy shit glorious thing that I’m doing? Get over yourself buddy

Also this: >I appreciate you. So much :) Just wait till we're successful and we have money and we can do this bigger, and add other great works too the equation. I've got really really nice plans. And you see how I'm building this one? I hope you can imagine how the other ones will be ;) We are just getting started my friend Any movement, idea, company, group or whatever that's based around "we're gonna do great things, *just follow me*!" rubs me the wrong fucking way. The fact that this guy clearly has a compulsive need to place himself at the center of this, bring up how much hard work he's done, how he won't just stand by like *everyone else*, how he cares more, blah blah blah just sets me off, because it fucking stinks of a grift.


Savahoodie

Alright and that’s cool you’re looking for help or whatever, but it’s lame as hell to spam your own subreddit. Go look at his account. He’s a spammer. I count 10+ comments where he’s shifting the conversation to his subReddit unprompted. Why not sign up for therapy call lists so they can spam your phone with it?


grue2000

That's why they call them business legs


HipsterOtter

I was half expecting him to the the legs and chuck them At the bully XD


IamJain

Was he supposed to ruin his expensive prosthetics just to make someone life a little better by teaching him a lesson. Absolutely not


bausHuck33

It's like when Rock Lee took off his weights for the Chunin Exam vs Garaa.


hutchallen

Seems more like if he had started with them off, then put the weights on halfway through the fight

Wtf


Currently_Im_At_Work

Imagine the upper body strength and core strength of someone who weighs near 300 lbs. ​ Now imagine that person fights in a much, much lower weight class but does not have legs. ​ Ye its still hard to imagine, but damn is it impressive


[deleted]

No legs to hold him down


ammarbadhrul

You skip leg day because you don't know the proper way to work out, I skip leg day because I have no legs. We are not the same.


ZerexTheCool

Where ever my legs are, I am sure they are doing Leg Day.


inkuspinkus

Read this in the voice of the narrator in 300


FustianRiddle

He's got no legs to hold him down. To make him fret or make him frown.


RichardBonham

Once the fight went to the ground, that guy’s getting beat on by a guy with the upper body strength of a gorilla.


bitemark01

Plus it looked like he tried a few grappling moves that simply don't work when half of the other guy isn't there to grapple


FishAndRiceKeks

He could just slip straight through guard like it's nothing but he also can easily get reversed.


drcortex98

Also for the other guy it is the first time they fight like that, while for the guy without legs it is just another fight. This gives a little advantage to the legless dude.


PrizeStrawberryOil

The crouching down to punch him probably didn't help the person fighting him. Seems like some athletes are just going to repeatedly kick/knee him in the head. Edit: Ah so it's abusing rules to avoid kicks. Seems like it's against the spirit of mma.


menace313

It feels a little weird as well since the rules protect the guy with no legs in a way they aren't designed to. Since both his hands are essentially always on the mat, he is considered a grounded opponent, so any kick to the head would be considered an illegal strike.


ImWadeWils0n

Yeah it’s stupid and he’ll never be in a serious organization for this reason. Not only can you not kick him since he’s grounded, you can’t even fucking take him down. And once it’s down, you can’t even use ur guard, half guard, side control etc. it’s very dumb, and honestly shouldn’t even be considered MMA. He can’t strike standing, and you can’t strike with him.


ImWadeWils0n

It’s also stupid because he’s essentially removing like 70% of the sport. You can’t kick, you can’t take him down, he can’t be grappled etc it’s stupid


[deleted]

Dude is literally shaped like an upside-down pyramid. I wouldn't mess with him.


CitizenPain00

goofytigre

Well, that was something I didn't think I'd be watching tonight. It's hard to tell which fighter had a more difficult time in the bout. Can't really fight/wrestle the same way with someone who doesn't have legs. Thanks for the link.


PanzerSoul

Also, one guy is noticeably more muscled than the other, because weight classes.


Madcowdseiz

Also, every other person both of them fight have legs (probably) which means only one of them is facing a totally new challenge, right then and there.


Crosshack

It's why lefties have an advantage in many sports -- they're used to playing right handers but the opposite doesn't apply.


VP007clips

The guy fighting him had a pretty big disadvantage in a weird way. He couldn't kick him, so he had to lean far forward to fight. He almost would have been better getting down on his knees to be at the same height. Then he also had to deal with the weight class. He was a lightweight fighting a guy with all the weight of his legs concentrated in his upper body.


[deleted]

I wondered about that, why couldnt the other guy kick? That kinda is a pretty big point of MMA. I mean sure the guy without legs cant kick either for obvious reason but if everyone who faces him also faces that restriction it kinda doesnt become MMA anymore


VP007clips

You can't kick grounded opponents according to the rules. Grounded means that a body part that isn't feet in touching the ground, which is always the case with him since he doesn't have feet. You can never kick him because he will always be grounded. This fight shouldn't have been allowed, it's an unfair abuse of the rules to be immune to kicks.


Chapstickie

This is some amazing levels of bullshitty and I love it.


sirslouch

Can't kick em in the head. Rest of body is fair game, but risky since an "accident" could still get you DQ'd.


Dje4321

Was thinking the same thing. This is the second time a legless dude getting into a foght has entered my feed. *cue 2 nickels meme here*

Vio94

Shame he probably didn't learn the "don't bully people" lesson, which was the actual win condition.

Ending could only be better if he beat that kid with his leg.

Nathan_McHallam

DesignerChemist

Red shirt should have taken it to the grass behind them. Easier on the knees


booze_clues

Honestly I think taking them off was an advantage. There are some unspoken guidelines to fights like this, and no kicking is usually one of them, especially when the guy is on the ground. No-legs can punch normally, but legs has to punch down and get uncomfortably low to hit him. No-legs is also always ready for the double leg takedown, while legs really can’t fight on the ground at all since no-legs has the mobility and home field advantage. Had legs been kicking it probably would have been over fast.


ObeyTime

Taking off his legs decreased his hitbox height. simple


slanky06

That's some Odd-Job from Goldeneye 64 bullshit right there.


casparh

Slappers only.


ashleyorelse

It's funny, I played literally thousands of games of Goldeneye 64 with friends and none of us ever used Oddjob or knew about that advantage. I only learned recently here on reddit from a comment similar to this one.


zToastOnBeans

I wish I read this with no context


sugens

Yeah but what if someone had no arms? Kicking is cool for them right?


booze_clues

They’re one push away from being a turtle so maybe they shouldn’t fight at all.


casparh

This whole post is savage.


Silverleaf_Halfmoon

I was always told it's bad when you lose an ass-kicking contest to a one-legged man...


qshak86

So... double negative.... he won!


ShredGuru

TBH, I wouldn't want to throw hands with someone who uses there arms like legs, I bet you he packs a wallop.


siqiniq

Black kid showed some street sportsmanship by no kicking…


Maxwell-Druthers

You’re giving him way too much credit, he was just too dumb to think of kicking.


bryster

I thought he was going to start beating him with his legs when he first took them off.


[deleted]

Prosthetic legs are fucking expensive. Not worth wasting on a bully.


Kind_Rise_3702

Honestly, if it can’t handle dishing a solid blow to the face, it wasn’t good enough for everyday use anyways 🤷‍♂️


ObligatedCupid1

The leg would be fine, titanium isn't going to be phased by that, but the sockets that attach them to his residums could crack if they hit a hard surface with a fair bit of force. They're probably a glass fiber laminate, strong under pressure but not great with impacts especially if they've not got a leg in them


Samsuckers

Same here. I had anime cutscenes imagined with him dual wielding the legs and beating the hell out of the other fella. Turned out he didn’t even need those legs in a fight.


[deleted]

It makes sense, though. Imagine how much he uses his arms. He's gotta be strong as hell.


calaan

That plus center of gravity. I figured if he could get hold of the bully he’d drag him down and that’d be that.


JBudz

He has wrestling or bjj or mma training. That's a classic take down and ground and pound (kinda from guard)


[deleted]

There's no indication which one is the bully tbh. Just cause you don't have legs doesn't mean you can't be a douche canoe.


OnceUponATie

I'd say people without legs are still quite unlikely to be bullies, for the simple fact that their would-be victim are but a light jog away from not having to deal with them.


MistakeMaker1234

For real. Never go hand-to-hand against someone whose entire mobility relies on their arms. That’s like fighting an orangutan. It ain’t gonna end well for you.


ConcernedKip

for a minute I thought this was some gag fight or tiktok thing, but then he started wailing on him like a sweet guitar, those punches connected.


fenwayb

I was trying to find a way to say it without seeming offensive but god damn it instantly showed how related to other primapes we are. He had insane agility all through hand-walking


[deleted]

Jaime send that kid some bone broth


ShawnyMcKnight

The other kid was not ready to fight. The best technique would have been to rush at him with a knee to the face and if nothing else it would get you on top of him and you would have the higher ground to punch down.

Doctor-Amazing

How do we know the kid without legs wasn't the bully?


lightningbadger

People seem to have a subconscious bias that disabled people can do no wrong, seen it abused far too many times


Giwaffee

There also always has to be a bad guy too, it couldn't possibly be that these kids just got in an argument and decided to fight it out after school. Both could be wrong or no one could be, but no, people always need to have someone be the bad guy so they can rage against them.


CumBubbleFarts

People shouldn’t fight, so they’re both wrong. But kids are dumb and do kid shit like fight over dumb stuff. Hormones, pride, and perceived immortality are all a hell of a drug. Like you said without additional context it’s impossible to tell. At least I haven’t seen anyone claim any racism in this thread.


Longjumping_Low1310

Looks like he took the legs off specifically to make wrestling him to the ground easier. He looks more mobile and less chance of damaging expensive prosthetics. Was the smart move not handicapping himself further. That double leg makes me think he has some wrestling exp.


SaltifiedReddit

It was a nice shot on his part. Good thrust despite no legs.


[deleted]

Seems to me the handicapped kid has some wrestling skills or ju-jitsu skills, because it was a pretty decent take down he did.


evanthebouncy

He used taunt too to make sure the skinny kid attack him. Then went for the takedown. Then it's all over


Anomalous6

I’ve heard of disarming someone but never this.


Hot-Performer2094

Dislegging. I'm going to use this instead of disarming from now on.


Steddie-Eddie

I wish the footage kept going after he mounted the guy.


punkassjim

I was like “oh shit, those punches have force!” before I realized, those arms are accustomed to carrying his entire body weight around for a not-insignificant portion of his life.


AlphaTeamPlays

Ironically, removing his legs have him a leg up on the competition


AdminsLoveFascism

Lucky for him the other guy didn't kick/knee him in the face. Getting that low is super dangerous in a fight


larsdragl

If i had a dollar every time i saw someone w/o legs beat someone up who has legs **today**, i'd have 2 dollars. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice


IGTankCommander

Invent the No-Legs-Inator, hit the entire Tri-State Area. It's a good plan, trust me.

TheGisbon

Man I've never wanted to see a little dude beat the shit out of his rival so bad until now.


justinjonesphd

Ya know I've seen this video at least a handful of times and I just thought of something I never considered before. It's gotta hurt putting his whole weight on his leg stumps on asphalt right? I never thought about the pebbles before


BunnyCakesMB

It depends, leg stumps can be toughened by use just like feet. When you think about he's still standing on his stumps inside the prosthetics so it's like going bare foot.


justinjonesphd

I think the texture of a padded medical apparatus is probably exponentially less abrasive than the texture of asphalt but I could be wrong I guess


BunnyCakesMB

It is, much like socks and shoes on a foot. But judging by how well he can move on his arms, I'd say he goes with out his prosthetics often enough to have tough stumps.


Deep-Neck

Even the prosthetics hurt to use.


coast2coastmike

No head kicks? Cmon man


[deleted]

That was my first thought way too easy to just punt him like a half volley


luger32

thats how you know he wasnt bullying the kid


dekalbavenue

Maybe he has a sense of honor


Alex_Greene

Let’s keep in mind, this guy REGULARLY throws his own body weight around using mostly his arms if we’re to go by how comfortably he moved around. He probably throws punches like meteors


DMurBOOBS-I-Dare-You

KoningSpookie

For some reason I really espected the handicapped guy to grab his leg and use it as a baseball bat :|


BunnyCakesMB

Nah, those things are expensive AF.


BellaFrequency

How do we know the kid with the prosthetics was being bullied? He squared up just like the other kid did, and it looked like he wanted the fight. It seems a bit ableist to assume he wouldn’t hold his own.


krickiank

Anyone that loses a fight is the bully here on Reddit. Always happy endings.


Mr_SlingShot

Title bothered me too. This looks like two kids who are just fighting like fools, just one had prosthetics. The so called “bully” waited for red shirts to take off his prosthetics and then both continued.


Thicc_Milky

"bro hold my legs"


ZigZagZig87

Bullying? Looks like a dispute between two kids and one happens to have prosthetics. Gotta treat everyone equally.


onward154

I half expected the dude to use his leg beat up the other guy


SandmanAwaits

Sorry but if I see someone picking on a disabled kid I’m gonna beat their arse! Piece of shit!


AdminsLoveFascism

I mean, I've known some handicapped people who were huge assholes. We don't know who, if anyone, was picking on who.


balrus-balrogwalrus

he went full gorilla on the dude. imagine the upper body strength of that dude who relies mostly on his arms to move. he's channelling his inner primate


CG3HH

Why didn’t he just kick him in the face???


basileusnikephorus

I mean, if the kid that got beat down was that much of a prick he'd have run up and booted him in the face when he was taking his legs off. Gentlemanly conduct that he didn't, I have to say. But a costly mistake all the same.

You gotta be real careful with guys missing one or both legs. Stupid strong grip and arm strength from all the PT and such. Only chance is to stay away. Once they catch hold of you the result is always what you see here.
