Rulan Gardner in Pride Fighting??

I don't know how old this fight is, but on Fox Sports Net, they just showed USA Heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist in Greco Roman Wrestling, Rulan Gardner, in a fight. He won. How long has he been in Pride?

Any reason why he didn't try and continue his career. He is a big dude. I would like to see him fight mark hunt.

Not sure why he quit, I can't find much on it but this is what he does now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Pro_Wrestling.

Rulon Gardner
Olympic Gold Medal Wrestler Gardner went snowmobiling in February 2002 with friends in the Wyoming back country. He was separated from the group and plunged into icy waters. He became disoriented and stranded overnight. After 17 hours in 5-6 feet of snow, in temperatures from 10-25 degrees below zero, he was rescued. He suffered from severe frostbite and lost a toe. His determination has enabled him to recover well enough to qualify for the 2004 Olympics.

They touted Rulon as a pretty big up and comer in MMA but he lost a couple of his toes. He makes a pretty penny doing wrestling seminars in the Rocky Mountain area

Too bad his only MMA fight came 2 years after that accident. I'd like to know why he stopped fighting.

yea, he was/is a big athletic guy. I bet if he got some coaching and training in on striking he could be pretty dangerous. We already know he is a great wrestler, so taking people down and fighting on the ground is already something he can do very well.

I remember in the fight I saw he was out-striking his opponent.
