AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Congenital amputee Kyle Maynard lost his first mixed martial arts fight to Bryan Fry on a 30-27 judges' decision Saturday night.

One of his corner men carried Maynard to the ring on his shoulders, with the camera crew from his documentary in tow, to the cheers of the highly partisan crowd.

Those cheers grew even louder when Maynard propelled himself up the steps and into the ring.

Chants of "KY-LE" erupted throughout the match as well as calls for Fry to "WRES-TLE" Maynard and get down to his level.

But Fry stayed upright and was able to ward off Maynard's many attempts to take his legs out from him.

Maynard used the ring announcer's microphone after the match to thank the fans for coming out to support him and Fry for agreeing to give him his first MMA fight.

The 23-year-old former high school wrestler from suburban Atlanta, was denied a license to fight in Georgia in 2007.

when i first heard that this guy was gonna fight and they didn't have an opponent for him yet i figured it was a joke and maybe they would find another small person or something for him. when his opponent was introduced i thought this might kill the sport but Maynard showed he put in work and proved anything's possible lasting all three round's

Unbelievable.

Seriously.

I think in his position, there is no way I would have even entertained the thought of doing this. The guy has balls.

All asshole-ish comments aside, much respect is due to Maynard...

seriously tho why would he bother, he had to know he wouldnt win and wouldnt be able to make for an exciting fight, i dont see the point....its good he wants to be active and do regular stuff but i dont think that sport is something he should of even thought about

[Born To Kill]

I'm sorry, really...

But it'd have been awesome if dude had just head kicked the shit outta him...

[Baron Mynd]

Roflz!

[Chrit.]

I know it sounds mean... but how do you not knock out a dude that cant defend a head kick???

[Jay Walker]

seriously... thats exactly what i was thinking.

if you're not going to entertain him and wrestle the dude, which is OBVIOUSLY the only fucking thing he could do... why not just kick his fucking head of his shoulders and go home?

I think the dude that just danced around made himself look like a big fucking pussy.

The dude obviously wanted to get down, or he wouldn't have asked for a fight, so why fucking accept his challenge if you're just gonna make him sprawl around after your legs, just to step back and put your hand on his head to hold him at bay?

Fucking pussy ass bitch man.

The guy who accepted the fight obviously knew that he wouldn't lose the fight, and he probably realized that this guy has wanted to do this for a long time and couldn't because of his disability. I think it would be pretty brutal if as soon as the match started he kicked him in the head and knocked him out...

He should of fought him on his knees because that was like watching a pissed of dog trying to attack his owner and his owner didn't really want to hurt him.
