One-legged champ at UFC

How can you not be impressed with this guy?

Story:
Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) will host Anthony Robles, a national champion wrestler born with just one leg, at their UFC 60 event in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, May 27.

During the event, Anthony will be honored by the UFC for his amazing accomplishments.

Born with just one leg, the 17 year-old of Mesa, Arizona capped off an amazing career on March 26 by winning the National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA) national title at 112 lbs. with a 9-1 victory in the finals.

The NHSCA invites only seniors in high school who won state titles to its national meet. Robles became the first disabled wrestler to win a title at the NHSCA national championships.
