I think the argument could be made that Nick Newell has done enough to get a shot in the UFC, without having to go through TUF. Although, I am sure there is a little reservation on the UFC's part due to his disability, so if they want to see how he does on TUF that's fine too. Either way he's a really great MMA story and I hope we get to see more of him soon.
No vid.

Newell deserves all the praise and spotlight hes earned. But a stump is a stump and its still gross. No one wants to be hit in the face with his chicken tender arm or have that thing near their mouths. Thats how shit got spread in the first place imo! No offense.

"No offense". Dick.
Newell on TUF would do better ratings than Chael.

As insensitive as it is, I laughed like a maniac at nobody wanting that thing "near their mouths".
Good interview like usual, asked some good questions.

I wasnt trying to be funny. I was just thinking, and im not a doctor or nothin, but its kinda like how youre not supposed to go around kissin babies with the hairlip lip before surgery. I think it spreads.
Big Pookie - Newell on TUF would do better ratings than Chael.
Exactly how I feel. That kid is made for TUF! And he looks like a legit prospect.
The kid is 8-0 and beat some legit guys. My problem more so lies in the advantage his handicap gives him. How much does your arm weigh from the elbow down? That's weight he doesn't cut, so he's bigger than athletes in his weight class. Also, his opponent is at a disadvantage as there are no submissions that can attack his left arm, just his right.
I would much rather have two hands to grab, strike and block with than a small weight advantage of a few pounds. Justin Torrey can armbar either arm, but he is most likely better than anyone Nick will face in mma.
"chicken tender arm" - dude wtf....
seriously though, when he hit that RNC on Reynolds, Reynolds was looking to peel off the hand only to realize its not freakin' there...Militech was commenting on how that is kind of a mindfuck for any opponent.

I definitely wouldn't call it an advantage :)
Yeah, I hear you all but I'm sorry, not having two full arms is not an advantage in any fundamental way, shape, or form. I think it is difficult for fully-limbed people to understand the disadvantages that someone like Newell has had to and still does over come in order to fight well.
I dunno would you guys legit pay to see him fight? I just wouldn't like to see him get hurt... How does he tap if he's getting arm barred?

I like Nick, his fights are fun to watch and he has proven himself to be a talented fighter who does not crumple under lesser talent. Everyone feels good watching him win and triumphing over the difficulties he faces with his arm. BUT I understand the UFC's reluctance to thrust him onto the world stage. NO ONE will feel good if a kick curves up past that arm and brutally KO's him. People will always cheer for a hero overcoming the odds (whether it be size or a handicap such as Nick's) and in the other hand are they ready to face the reality that they might have to watch a fully capable man beat their feel good story into a bloody mess? For MMA it could be bad news. (not saying that its possible that we have come far enough that it could pass by like any other fight, but it is an unknown territory)
I don't know, man. To me it is pretty simple - Is he beating the caliber of guys that it takes to get into the UFC? So far, he seems to be doing that. With a couple of the guys he's beaten, I see no reason why he couldn't beat many guys in Bellator and a numberin the UFC.

Birth defects are contagious???
HAIR LIP???????
Just fucking wow.
I know, right? I can't believe it either, this disgusting illiteracy is spreading like a wildfire. It's obviously spelled HARELIP, just like it's harebrained and not hairbrained.
It's so disturbing to still see this kind of ignorance in these times. It's 2013. We really should have evolved past this kind of spelling as human beings.
