He's more sanda based although he did train in shaolin for a period of time. In China, they say traditional kung fu is for performance, sanda for the ring. :P
To be fair, he's quite good actually as a stand up fighter but don't think he will do well in MMA as he lacks grappling skills like most kung fu exponents. http://www.canbike.org/sports-entertainment/yi-long-shaolin-monk-fight-record.html
