Thanks to Wasim we were able to view the Le-Shamrock fight. This was the first time to see a San Shou fighter in a high-profile MMA bout, where Le was able to effectively use his moves from his style.

Le was able to get good use of his side kick to the body, keeping Shamrock at mid-distance. When Shamrock timed the kick to counter with his right, Le quickly started following up with spinning back fists. Not really a knockout blow, but enough to put Shamrock on the defensive.

Le also used kick a kick-catch sweep against one of Shamrock's Thai kicks to the mid section but didn't follow Shamrock to the ground for good reason.

Are there any techniques from other styles that you think would work in MMA? Why would they work?
