WTF you talking about? Forrest was injured too when he fought him, stop with the nutthugging already. And what makes you think he could beat Liddell? His world class boxing skills or his double leg slam takedown from hell that even Chuck won't be able to get back to his feet from? The guy could barely put Kaz Nak away for fucks sake.
Here's my prediction for 2009: if Shogun doesn't retire from his knee injury, he'll turn out to be MMA's biggest bubble yet. Yeah, I said it. His biggest win is what? The one over Rampage? He broke Rampage's rib and everyone was like "woa Shogun has sick Muay Thai", but when Coleman broke Shogun's elbow everyone was like "woa fluke".
What else? He beat diet Nog (who is a terrible boxer no matter what most people think - he might be technical but he's not really good at it) and Arona...
If Shogun keeps fighting for the UFC he'll completely lose his aura of invulnerability.

Eh, I don't know man. If that fight was on for June, I'd be selling my body to go see it live in London. Quite a historic fight in my mind, and I was two injuries away from being able to watch it live.
Anyway, Chuck by TKO round 2. Shogun's striking is kinda meh, and I don't see him getting Chuck down and holding him there long enough to make something out of it.

Nah, Shogun is more. When he stomped people in pride I was like "damn he's falling over any time now". He looks amateur-ishly uncoordinated and sloppy from time to time with the Coleman fight being the case where he finally paid for it. Chuck is a tad more composed in general.

I disagree. Beating Rampage, Arona, Lil' Nog and Overreem shows that you're capable of beating anyone, IMO.
Dude, Rampage got fucking tooled by Rua. The Coleman slam was a fluke, dude he tried to trip him and he landed on his elbow, even Coleman will tell you, thats not supposed to happen. Lil' Nog has the best boxing coach in all of South America, dude's stand up is technical. Quit trying "to be right", you sound like a troll.
Shogun is a world class fighter. If anyone is nutthugging, it's you. I'm not a nuthugger, I'm loyal. I've been a Shogun fan since Bushido 1. I stick by my fighters for life. I bet you don't. You just want to be right and sound smart about your picks. I'm still a Vitor Belfort fan too....oooh, now what??

Regarding his upcoming fight with Chuck and Shogun's future (as of right now):
He has been one of my favorite fighters since he stepped onto the scene in Pride years and years ago. Although I will support him and root for him until his career is over, it's been hard to watch him ever since the Coleman debacle in Pride.
Now I realize that the injuries have contributed greatly to his lack luster training/cardio. However, I saw a sluggish, less aggressive Shogun in Pride even after he broke his elbow.
Shogun was at his best when he was fearless, a cardio machine and extremely aggressive with ALL types of strikes. I don't see it anymore and he drives me NUTS when I watch him throw punches and/or stand and trade. His boxing is sloppy to say the least and I realize he's more a MT guy but he'd be SO WELL SUITED to train nothing but boxing for months and months.
There's no explosion in his strikes anymore... guys with longer reach (Forrest and Chuck) can pick him apart with the jab after he tires.
I'm sad to say it but I see Chuck stopping him early - about 70/30 chance IMHO.
If I watch an out of shape, sluggish Shogun walk into that octagon and look gassed after about 60 seconds - I might just turn it off... I can't really stand to see Chuck knock his head off and Dana tout the superiority of the UFC.

I wasnt talking about him hitting a punching bad, i was talking about the fact that he actually moved his camp instead of working out around his friends and family in curitiba. Hes got a new camp and most importantly a new strength and conditioning coach. Hopefully he is training for this fight like he needs to, this is the most important fight of his career.

the one thing he has going for him is age, and the best thing that could happen to him (after losing this fight) is to be let go by the UFC. after that he should take a year off to completely rehabilitate his knees. once he gets that taken care of, then he still has a few years left to come back and work his way back up the ranks.
if the knee situation is a bad as I think it has been for him, he should never have taken the past two fights.

Should Mir have been released after Pe de Pano fucked him, he beat Christison (barely), and then got KO'd by Vera?
He can be a future investment for them. It's the EXACT same thing that happened to Mir. Shogun got his ass kicked, barely beat a guy he should work, then KO'd by a top-level guy.

yeah, but Mir was a UFC champion before his decline. that title gave him (and Dana) marketing power that Shogun won't have for a comeback tour in the US.
AND the HW division is (was) thin in Mir's days. No shortage of explosive LHWs. Unless Shogun puts on a legit war w. Chuck Dana will drop him like a warm beer.
And (when) that happens, Rua will hafta go back to Japan - fighting for Dream (or whichever Yakuza backed organization replaces them). The Jap fans don't give a shit about the UFC so he'll get a clean slate and a hero's welcome.

And (when) that happens, Rua will hafta go back to Japan - fighting for Dream (or whichever Yakuza backed organization replaces them). The Jap fans don't give a shit about the UFC so he'll get a clean slate and a hero's welcome.
Mir was as recognizable as Shogun to new TUF fans . . . They can build Shogun the same way they have been, "he was widely considered teh #1 205'er"
The only difference is division depth. If he doesn't gas badly, he'll stay.
I get what you're saying wig but buckner is right he really isn't a big draw
Of course he isn't yet, he's looked like shit. I could see them trying to restructure if he's willing. He's making 150k per fight. Well, that's what he got against Forrest, I think.
If he can get his head on straight, he's a type of guy that the majority of fans would like to watch. Just saying he's young enough to turn it around.

i think you could make a stronger case for Cro Cop where marketability is concerned. but Dana was happy to let him go and doesn't appear interested in bringing him back either.
i think Dana saw value in these guys a year ago when Pride still mattered. i think he's way way way more interested in nurturing his TUF noobs than rehabing former Pride stars - esp ones who don't speak English.
Wand is a different story. Wand brings it - even when he loses. Unless Rua unleashes some fucking fireworks this Saturday, he is gone - as in for good.

Speaking of TUF, is the UFC still going after the Brazilian market? I remember hearing about that awhile ago but not much lately.
and speaking of Brazilian fighters who speak English ... IF they get a TV deal in Latin America, I could seriously see Dana pull a US vs Brazil TUF faceoff.
if that happens, who will be the Brazilian Coach? Wand? He lives in Vegas and does speak English... but then again, they'd be going after both markets so they might even go w. subtitles or even regionalized voiceovers.
just a random thought...

He'd rather pay a TUF guy 10k ( and there can be no more 'TUF sucks talk --two title holders) than 150k to Shogun. But he also know he needs to give Shogun at least another chance, as long as he doesn't gas in two minutes.

Liddell lost a split dec to a tough fighter,and was beating Rashad until he got cracked, Couture - only lost to a beat, Shogun could likely to pull a MIr

Shogun is going to be too fast for Chuck, kick kick punch punch clinch trip, chuck scrambles shogun takes his back, chuck escapes scrambles, knee bar. Shoguns top game is sick, I would be surprised to see him mount chuck and pound him out overeem styles. Shogun has been able to take down everyone he has ever fought, he will pwn.

Are you kidding me? Chuck has lost his last 3 of 4 fights. He got dec by a can, KTFO by someone he was not beating in the 1st, and KO'ed by someone on the backiside of their career. Dude is not looking good, but neither is Shogun at this point.

I had the Jardine fight a draw, he was beating Rashad in the firs (just like everyone does) and Rampage bashed his head in.

You're just trolling. Jardine is no can, and neither is Chuck. Chuck has lost some quickness, but his biggest problem and/or mistake was his refusal to evolve. The Jackson camp decoded him, which accounts for two of those three losses.
And if Rampage is on the backside of his career at age 30, then Anderson Silva should be into his second year of retirement right now.

Chuck still does not know where hes at after his last fight...The dude is no can but he, like many others, needs to know when to say when. Jardine is just not an exciting fighter IMO, either he gets KTFO or drags out a fight and lets the judges decide...he is no can but hes getting close to being one. And again, age is not the issue, the lack of progression is. Page nailed Wandy...nice shot, now lets see it again. If he cant repeat than that solidifies his position on the backside of his career.
and you know I dont troll......:rolleyes:
