I remember speaking to Sensei Ledyard a bit about this after the event. Wasn't some of MT's "session" documented in the Aiki Expo DVD for that year? From how it sounded I'm sure there are those who have this on personal video, but I'm not sure if it will be publicly available.
To be fair, the guy we are talking about was pretty much delusional. His skill level in Aikido wasn't even 5th kyu, his lack of any conditioning indicated that he had never done any serious mixed martial arts training, he was unable to do the most basic covering moves against a jab, and had less than no idea how to shoot for someones legs. It would be very inaccurate to draw any conclusions whatever about Aikido or Mixed Martial Arts from this fellows performance at the Expo. It turned out later that he wasn't even a yudansha in anything.
