sure... he could stand up to them... and score points... then get taken down and beat to death.
;)
and you're talking about one guy... not the sport in general. your talking about a sport that generally passes out black belts like a charity passing out free t-shirts to homeless people.
there's been some decent kung fu guys in MMA.. people like Ken Shamrock was originally Kenpo. Both still totally suck as fighting styles the whole and there is a reason you NEVER see Tae Kwon Do in mma. ;)
There is a difference between the fighter and his ability and the style he's trained. styles don't make people great.
