Just thought we needed one more thread to celebrate the return to form of one of the most entertaining fighters in MMA history.
Shogun, hence the title
So who is Shogun going to fight next?
I think he should get another match before going after the belt, if not only to get another win and solidify his hype in America further. --> This will also make him more marketable by the time he does get a title shot (assumming he wins).
Or a re-match with rampage!
I will believe the old Shogun is back once I see him in a longer fight. If he regains the stamina that he showed in Pride then he will be a top 5 fighter once again. He looked good against Chuck but it was over in the first round.
Shogun is one of my favorites so I hope this fight was just the beginning of another great run. If he is at his best there are very few people who can beat him. Shogun vs. Machida for the title would be a dream matchup. Obviously I am assuming Machida will beat Rashad but I am confident he will.
Feed him Jardine, imo.
It was cool seeing all the hype during the event turning to fruition.
