Agreed. Some of the Judo sherdoggers take nuthuggery to a whole new level *cough* Q Mystic *cough*. I do believe that Judo has a place in MMA but Judokas need to adapt the sport to MMA because right now Judo is geared towards Olympic competition only. Karo Parisyan is the only guy who has really evolved the sport. I also think Judokas need to supplement their subgame with BJJ or Sambo because Judo groundwork is pretty weak to say the least.
