Haha. Everyone at the bar stopped what they were doing to watch this kid last night. Definitely seems like he had the advantage. Dudes like a tripod.

well the advantage is that he normally would be a higher weight class but without that leg, he is a very strong guy wrestling in a much lower weight class where they aren't that strong.

that's like being proud of him for winning a contest to see who could stand on one leg for the longest.
