Right...so you would favor a male gymnast over Mike Tyson? Or do just have a thing for male gymnasts?
For real though, Pancrase is all well and good but they allow NO striking, cept for slapping. Thats really gonna prepare a guy to fight Mike Tyson isn't it? Come on. Tyson would have destroyed anyone the first few UFC's IMO.
