I've said this before, and I know it probably makes me look like an arse, but I believe he has an unfair advantage by not having legs. It means his upper body can be much bigger and stronger than everyone else's.

I know how stupid that sounds, but it's just what I believe.

This is completely it.

They have weight classes for a reason. Him not having legs is basically a way for him to compete in a lower weight class. He can be a huge dude with a much bigger, stronger upper body and would normally outweigh his opponents by like 50 lb, but because he has no legs he technically weighs the same.
