How Well Would Alexander Karelin Have Done in MMA?

Karelin beat Maeda in RINGS, which didn't allow strikes on the ground. MOst people think that fight was a pro-wrestling work.

Also, other Greco-Roman wrestlers like Randy Couture (Olympic alternate) and Matt Lindland (Silver medalist) have done quite well in MMA. How do you think the by far greatest Greco Roman wrestler that ever existed would have done?

Is that the same Craig Pittman that used to play Sgt. Craig Pittman in WCW? Kind of looks like him. And is it true Rulon Gardner was the only guy to beat Karelin. Or one of the only guys? Yeah, the Karelin Rings match I've heard was a work. Garnder does have a unanimous decision win over Yoshida at Pride Shockwave 2004. So I guess, other than Rickson and a couple of other Gracies so far (Ralek and Roger), he's the only other guy to go undefeated in MMA. And I guess Ray Mercer, since he's still 1-0.
