Nick Newell (born March 17, 1986 in Milford, Connecticut) is a retired American mixed martial artist, who fought in the lightweight division. ==Early life== Newell was born with congenital amputation of his left arm, which ends just below his elbow. Newell has a very short yet muscular stump of his forearm which he learned from a young age to grasp objects with. Newell, born with his little stump and therefore not needing to adapt or re-learn, joined his high school wrestling team. He thought about quitting after his very first session because it was 'the hardest thing I had done in my life' as he says, but his mother did not allow him, and instead he worked hard from then on.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=For one-armed MMA fighter Nick Newell, the real challenge is finding opponents )〕 Newell has over 300 victories between high school and college in wrestling. Newell stated that whilst growing up he idolized former Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott, who has no right hand and was an inspiration for Newell to challenge himself. His roommate in college was former WWE wrestler Curt Hawkins. They would watch ''The Ultimate Fighter'', which was on the same channel right after ''WWE Raw'', and Newell has said this is what inspired him to take up MMA. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nick Newell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
