MMA Fighter With Fake Leg

Wisconsin -- 32-year-old Ernie Paulson from Rhinelander is a rare breed of athlete. As a teenager, he lost his left leg below to the knee to cancer but is fighting in mixed martial arts (MMA), according to wbay.com.

Paulson says it is hard to find opponents because they don't want to lose to a guy with a fake leg. However, he claims this motivates him because he doesn't want to be viewed as inferior.
