Shamrock also has a tremendous wrestling background (and no im not referring to his pro wrestling), which im quit sure tyson doesnt. and im also pretty sure that tyson knows very few submissions. it would be a no contest. Shamrock for sure.
I don`t really see how wrestling holds and submissions will help when your up against a guy who will bite , eye gouge , kick in the nads and do anything it takes to win.
