I'm sure he could move camp if he wished just down the road as he's extremely popular in that area but hasn't done so yet. If Nevada banned him my guess is it's not an indefinite suspension as that's unprecedented as far as I know and I know other states don't have to honor these bans. I think it's just a matter of him not wanting to fight without clearing his name. I read an article about him a few months ago probably but can't find it.

He has a fanbase though, I hope he does turn to MMA that would be interesting to see someone in what I guess you would call a prime turn to MMA and obviously he has done a little training. He would probably be the perfect guy or Cintron but Cintron still makes more money beating up on David Estrada I'm sure then he would fighting George St. Pierre as sad as that is.
Yeah physically I reckon Gilbert would do very well in MMA, he's built like a brick shit house and could knock any MMA fighter out in a stand up trade I reckon.

Have to see how good a wrestler he is and whether he's any good on the ground but I'd say he'd have as much chance as any boxer to do well.
