    He's a big MMA fan - that's not new. He's been doing it to some extent or another since Shamrock was in the WWE/F.

    You can add Iowa, Illinois, Missouri (amateur only, I believe), Ohio, New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Washington to that list, just off the top of my head.

    Not really. Mirko has very good takedown defense for a guy who never wrestled competitively, but "best in the world" is hyperbole at best. You can't compare his defensive wrestling to, say, a Randy...
