And that's relevant to the age of MMA how? MMA obviously draws almost everything from pre-existing arts. That doesn't mean any of the pre-existing arts are MMA (again, except for Shooto) despite any of the similarities. There are also differences, and it's those differences that make them not MMA. Crosstraining isn't new, mixing styles isn't new. Hell, people like saying Pankration is the original MMA, but you look at Pankration then and MMA now, and there's a distinct lack of guard work. It's similar, it's not the same thing.
