He has good kicks, and i think i remember reading somewhere that he did kung fu sanda. Does anyone know for sure or have read anything similar?
 
His background was/is wrestling (junior college national champ), but he did practise sanshou yes.
 
Rumble is the proof that kung fu works in MMA.
 
"neo footwork" lovers gonna pop up around here

Well that's more of a statement on Rumble as a martial artist than Kung fu's effectiveness. Taichi for example is generally accepted as useless as shit in MMA but give Platinum Mike Perry 6 months he'll knock fools out with Taichi.
 
Rumble trained under Cung Le back in the day when he was fighting out of AKA.
 
I think African-American backgroumd.

Taichi is lethal as fuck, they just don't teach the real taichi outside of China.
I thought you knew that.

And yes, Mike Perry with 3 weeks of Taichi beats anybody on the roster.
But real Taichi, not the shit they are teaching in America.
