He was a top-ranked heavyweight around 2000, certainly higher than Struve has been.
He had a lot of losses early in japan before he had any ground-game and then lost his biggest fights against absolute top-competition like Fedor, Nog and Barnett. Then he went into kickboxing and became the best ever heavyweight. But I think he could have had a similar development if he had stuck with MMA.
