    He made the top 40 news on the Yahoo page last week. He'll make some money at the sport for sure.

    He is a badass for sure.

    The guy with Larry King is likely a "thalidomide baby"; why is Newell minus a hand? Damn impressive intensity & heel lock.

    Nick was born with a congenital amputation . But my favorite version of why he has one hand , is the one he told when he was like 7yrs old. My parents have a beach house and Nick used to spend all summer there. One day some kids who's parents were renting a house for a week , were looking at him like he was a leper and talking about how wierd he was with no hand and wondering how it happened. He walked up to them and told them it was bit off by a shark and it happened right there , pointing to the water right in front of the house their parents rented. I didn't see those kids in the water for the whole week they were there.

    A video he just did with highlights of his other fights.My favorite is the guillotine at 2:50, makes my neck hurt everytime I see it.

    The show Inside MMA did a story on him not to long ago. It was very inspirational. I think his record is 7-0. You can tell by watching his fights that he is one tough dude.

    It`s been all over the place Russian, Brazilian and Mexican news stations ran it for like a week afterwards. Not sure when he`s fighting next. Recovering from shoulder surgery he had 4 days after the last fight, fought with a torn muscle and bone spurs. He signed a multi fight deal with XFC and they will all be on HDNET.

    Shoulder,bicep,elbow,forearm and there is a wrist there too.Think those pretty much are the requirments for an actual arm, albeit short.
     
    Re: MMA....impressive win

    Pretty impressive. His lack of an arm is more like a hook which he definitely uses to his advantage. Watching some of his other vids you can tell he knows where he can and shouldn't be when in different positions. Like when he is in his opponents guard he doesn't posture up much, most likely because he does not have full length on his other arm to counter if he gets caught up. However when he is able to posture up its pretty much when his opponent has a weak/no guard and then he moves immediately for a leg sub, and when he ends up in mount he brings it for sure. Stand up looks good, I saw some head kicks mixed in there, he is a stud to say the least. It's going to be interesting to see how he fairs in future fights, best of luck to him.

    That's impressive to see someone like that overcome something that most people see as a handicap. I sure in the hell wouldn't want to be in the ring with him.
