The word from everybody that's been with him (including Pat Militech, Matt Hughes and Royce Gracie) since he made his decision to go MMA is that he's insanely dedicated to this, he's got immense natural talent for it, and that given time he will be an absolute monster in the sport.

From an interview on sherdog.com, he talks about wanting to really be a true MMA fighter, and train in all sorts of different camps and styles to truly make himself a rounded fighter, not just some pro wrestler turned MMA goon.

I really hate pro wrestling and most pro wrestlers (I give them credit for being awesome at what they do, I just don't like what they do), but I have huge hopes for this guy and I've got a feeling he's going to shock the world of MMA when he finally enters the ring.

My biggest fear is that they either turn him into a freakshow, a la Butterbean, that they constantly have him fighting cans just to showcase what he has, a la most of the Ultimate Fighter contestants, or that they really feed him to the sharks before he's ready for it, a la Nate Quarry.
