"Actually, I just fought MMA to test myself, because Lyoto was already doing it, but in 2010, fighting in MMA will be one of my goals," Shinzo said. "I think the 70-kilogram (155 pounds) class will be a nice category for me."
Shinzo indicated that his managers, Eddie and Jorge Guimaraes, were already putting out feelers in the MMA world.
"It can be the WEC, UFC … let’s see," the Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt said.

HIs father and his brother say the same thing about his style, very aggressive. So he should be interesting in the cage.

Love the Machidas... but.
Would love to see him go for it… but I think he should build his name in the “minors” so to speak, like any other fighter. It would be good for him, good for his name, and if and when he goes UFC, he will be more prepared for it.
If this is anything to go by, we could be in for some fun

I wonder how good his ground game is though.
