The 24-year-old had a 2-1 amateur MMA record before turning pro, and trains with both the Fighting Arts Academy in Springfield, Massachusetts, and the Ultimate MMA Training Center in North Haven, Connecticut. An all-state high school wrestler who also wrestled for four years at Western New England College as Captain in his last year there, he took up MMA soon after and entered the pro world in June 2009. Nick, whose nickname is “Notorious”, is currently undefeated with three wins, with his last fight being in March 2010 against Steve Butler. Even more amazing, all of his fights have ended in the first round, one by TKO and two by submission. Fighters have been known to duck him, not out of fear of his handicap but fear of losing to a man with a handicap.

This is crazy, how can this guy get sanctioned to fight anywhere with 1 arm?

poor guy will never have wrist control, i admire his courage but sanctioning bodies need to take some things, like not having limbs, into account.

I think he should be forced to wear some type of glove on his other arm since he punches with it.

It's almost like an elbow though.
