Those guys were successful at least 4 years ago and MMA keeps growing EVERY day. You keep forgetting that MMA has grown since the days of the 2 cent boxer, the couldn't like Peter Aerts shoe box kick boxers, and the Gracie kicking everyone's ass. Today, its VERY hard to get really good because no matter how truely dominant you think you are, there is so much you need to stay on top. Ask guys like Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman. Tank Abbot would die against any heavyweight today, I can't name a heavyweight [besides Giant Ochai and maybe Takada] that couldn't beat Abbot and competes in Pride. Plus, Tank got fed bums in the opening rounds then he'd bomb in the finals against [insert good fighter's name here]. The reason Boxing, Wrestling, Judo etc. is so hard to break into is because they're mainstream sports and people that work on them concentrate on ONE sport their entire life which is damn impressive, but I think trying to be well rounded in all those is just as impressive.
