you guys are just assuming Tyson could Stuff a shoot attempt... Royce alot of the times would use a Thai front kick and paw with it..... that way he could create enough distance and go for the shoot.... Have you ever been in a sparring session with someone who has nasty takedown skills? again you fail to realize a one dimensional grappler will beat a 1 dimensional striker more than 75% of the time its been proven numerous occasions... Thats why Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn, Mark Coleman, Mark Kerr, even a guy like Kevin Randleman were succesful early on was because they were excellent wrestlers and subission specialists that would eat Strikers up 9-10 times well over the past 10 years those guys havent been signifigant players in mma because the sport has evolved were yo cant be 1 dimensional.

The pure strikers can grapple now and the pure grapplers can strike you need to be more versatile to survive..... you can drop Roy jones or Mike Tyson in a cage this afternoon with either Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn, Mark Coleman, Mark Kerr or even Randleman and I will guarantee and even endorse over 3 months worth of paychecks that those grapplers will either ground and pound those two or sub them out....
