I recently shot a wrestling event. It was a taping for pay-per-view for the Urban Wrestling Federation. It was shot at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. Lighting on the ring was good, but I had to use the 18-105 since I didn't have a 2.8 zoom at the time. I ended up shooting ISO 4000, 1/400sec at f/5 on my D7000.
I was also shooting with the D90/35mm f/1.8 at ISO 1600, f/3.5 and 1/400sec.
I did a quick comparison of some high ISO shots from my D3, which I no longer have, to the D7000 and I personally don't see a difference in the RAW files. The samples I compared were ISO 2500, so I know the D3 can go much higher then the 7000. So maybe at extreme ISO's the D3 would have outperformed the 7000.
Noise Reduction and Sharpening in LR and on export Sharpening for Screen set to Standard.
Here are two from the D7000.

Nothing like a folding chair to the head. LOL....
