Dana won't sign a 1 arm fighter.
Maybe, I don’t know,” White said when asked about Newell’s chances at the UFC, “It is hard enough to fight here with two arms. Fighting with one arm is just craziness to me.”
i can see the hesitation on signing a guy with a half a baby arm.
i personally think if they wrap that thing up so those little......uhh.....chiclets don't poke anyone in the eye, then by all means let him fight.

I agree he should be able to fight or at least try to make it in the UFC.
He posted something on Facebook today about his Record and how he finished a guy in 80 seconds or so that took Eddie Alvarez the whole fight to do. He thinks he should be at least considered. It seems pretty legit what he's accomplished.
The UFC has had many of freakshows and famous ones..... This is slightly different the guy is a hardworker. I think Dana should look into it.

Just seen his UFC 155 interview, he said some crazy stuff. Dana doesn't think a one handed fighter can fight in the UFC, He's never watched a Bellator Show, BS! he tweeted "nice Job, lets Talk" after Alvarez won, and Melendez will probaly get an imediate Title Shot.

I know who he is. Never noticed the fingers though.

Serious question….. How do you think he maintains strength and muscle mass in that arm since he cant grasp bars/weights?

He probaly lifts weights via strap to his arm.

I thought of that as well, but that kind of limits his movements to mostly curls and possibly pull ups/lat pull downs. He is pretty much F'd in the A when it comes to Oly lifting ( cleans, jerks, snatches etc… ) and any kind of kettle bell work. Regardless, he is doing something right.

It probaly is limiting, if you notice in the pic his left arm is a little smaller than his right arm.

Thats true as well. I thought maybe his muscles/connective tissues may have been underdeveloped as well. Props to him though.

Heres another serious question. Should he be required to use a little glove on that hand?

I don't think anyone is saying he isn't allowed...but come on...imagine this kid against Benson Henderson/Gray Maynard/Nate Diaz/Jim Miller/Joe Lauzon/Melvin Guillard/Tony Ferguson/Clay Guida/Diego Sanchez/Ross Pearson......
Winning in XFC is one thing....but...lets get real.

Maybe not a glove per se, but some sort of padding.
