Shogun was probably my all-time favorite fighter to watch. He didn't always win, but he always put on a show!
Lol he was a champion, he beat Machida.
Totally agree
Un champion exceptionnel bien évidemment.
He was undefeated in Pride and was champion there and in the UFC. Dude is legit and a legend!
@@blackblurable A lot of people don’t understand the fight game. Well said.
Shogun was a masterclass fighter in his prime. Loved watching his Pride fights.
my favorite fighter of all time. his run in the 2005 grand prix was the most amazing display i have seen. the next best run was jones in 2011, however in hindsight it doesn't hold up well because of all his failed tests. rockholds run to the ufc title was also spectacular.
Actually, he wasn't Overeem let him up, he never shouldn't.
Until he stopped taking the juice, then his stamina and explosiveness were completely gone in the UFC. All he had was his punching power left, and became a just a decent fighter.
Shogun was a Fantastic fighter! one of the all time greats! Overeem was good, but got on the juice later on, lost speed, lost endurance and became real gun shy to engage
@@Joseph-lz5er Seriously? Do you really think there is at least one professional athlete who doesn't take juice? 🤭🤣
That shit was like a guided missile, wtf. Insane accuracy
not accurate at all, r e t a r d. he tried the same punch 5 seconds before and missed
he didn't miss, Overreem was able to endure the first one@@Don-rl1sm
and speeeeeed
@@Don-rl1smIdgaf about other punches, THAT punch landed like a missile.
@@Don-rl1sm he connected with both.
Shogun was another one of those superhuman fighters during the PrideFC days
Shogun peaked at a very young age. I think he was in his early 20's when he won the Pride Grand Prix. It's crazy that some of his epic fights like the one with Henderson were well past his prime years.
It happens with fighters with rough training camps like the ones at Chute Boxe, especially the old Chute Boxe.
This is the second fight between Shogun and Overeem, that happened in 2007. The first, the one you're talking about, was from the Grand Prix in 2005.
You can hear Mazzagatti telling them kicks and knees to grounded opponents are illegal, and Shogun KO'd Arona by stomp so it clearly wasnt this tournament.
@@Mikamichae Aldo peaked early? Though Aldo won the WEC featherweight title at 23, he was either a champion or top contender for his entire career, in two different divisions.
His blew his ACL after this fight and then blew it out again during recovery. Somehow was still good enough to beat Machida for the championship (TWICE) and then blew ot out again and never was the same
i think everybody loves Shogun because he looks like "one of the guys". Not too beef, or angry attitude, just one of us who can kick ass and be cool about it.
Love Shogun. Enjoy your retirement my guy. You deserve it champ
That punch couldn't have been more accurate if it was laser guided, I love these old fights with true legends of the game
Natal de 2023 e eu revendo essa luta lendária do Shogun
Definitely appreciate the technical advances in the fight game but when fighters aren’t perfect and both are making mistakes, it’s a recipe for an exciting fight
Exciting fighters make exciting fights. The sport was even less technical years before this, with all kinds of mistakes made, and it was less exciting than this era.
I hear what yer saying but have to ask what technique is commonly used today that wasn't commonly used in 07 that woulda prevented Overeem getting KOd in the same position by the same shot if both were at the same stage in their careers today ? In this fight I don't think technique is the issue, I think its the self belief of Shogun & the courage to take the risk of throwing the big shot. Perhaps contracted fighters, in particular contracted fighters to a particular promotion that monopolises the sport, have little or no incentive to go out there, take risks, n make wins happen ?
Technically here these are just as good as many today
Lol what technical improvements? 😂😂 look at Colby vs Edward's. You'd think Cobly has never even been to a striking class. Both Reem and Shogun have better striking than 95% of the current ufc roster
@@kevthegoat8774as good as almost anyone. There's a LOT of skill in this fight. Being technical has little to do with making mistakes. It's weird to even say that tbh. Every fight is lost because someone made a mistake. That's how combat works. I have no clue what OP was getting at. Just a weird way to view things.
Shogun was the goat back in the day!
Damn.. shogun with that devastating right 💣 👀
Shogun is sooo underrated ... such a killer.
What makes him underrated? He's very highly respected.
@@PinkyFingerPedalStrike Thats a UFC fan, he knows mma only from UFC, and Dana white brained washed him.
that fight with forest griffin. jesus
@@PinkyFingerPedalStrike underrated means he doesn't get enough respect. Sure the die hards remember him, but he should be more talked about.
Underrated? By who exactly? He's a legend and has been for a very long time.
Shogun was amazing to watch before a series of injuries.
Exactly, Fluke arm break against Mark Coleman, then blew out his ACL 3 times. He lost a lot with those injuries. Cain Velasquez had a similar fall due to injuries.
The golden age of MMA
Это очень сильный боец одни из моих любимых бойцов Бразилец!
Chuck Norris on 1:45 !!!
Nice catch!
@@tiagomatias5172no maxholloway
Fun fact: Chuck Norris is a black belt, he sparred with my master, Art Beins
Shogun was a nightmare
Cracking fight ! Respect both legends. Amazing finish by Rua.
Queiram ou não, Shogun Rua é uma lenda!💪💪💪
Не нравится
@@ileaswon6520тебя это е..бать не должно)) Нравиться , он легенда
Sem dúvida nenhuma! Que gosto da rever as lutas dele.
@@ac0pt Pro Coleman cheio de esteroides, caiu por cima do braço.
no chão e mais fácil
Damn ,I've never seen such a young, "small" Overeem. Definitely didn't expect that ending with how short the video was😅 good shit. Big props
He's even skinnier today. He gave up the roids and became a vegetarian.
He spent his early days at light heavyweight. He's not a natural heavyweight. For some reason, it took him only 4 months to transform his body completely into this heavyweight K1 animal. It took Jon Jones 3 years to put on about the same amount of weight so I reckon they went about it in very different ways.
Jones has pissed hot on numerous occasions, USADA even raised the acceptable levels of of PEDs so that Jones could compete before the UFC ended the partnership with USADA completely. Jon Jones is no stranger to designer steroids. And it didn't take Jones 3 years to put on the extra weight, he was just ducking Ngannou.@@SpiceBoy7UK23
Babyreem
@@SpiceBoy7UK23 and overeem put on clean weight
In Pride Era Shogun was the only fighter who has same tier with Fedor Emelianenko
wrong, r e t a r d. shogun sucked and fedor is the goat
@@Don-rl1sm why are you so triggered, did Shogun f00hk your m /0m or something
@@Don-rl1sm wtf 🤡? Shogun was one of the Pride legends, Fedor dominated Heavyweight, Shogun Light heavyweight. Have some respect, 🤡
@@Don-rl1sm you're a virgin, aren't you?
They were ALL juicing and the fights were fixed...Pride had more in common with WWE. It was entertainment with predetermined winners and losers....Fedor was nothing but a myth, similar to Goldberg in WCW....a bunch of "wins" to have that "undefeated" champ, but it was FAKE....many of Fedor's opponents have admitted to getting paid to dive.
Pride FC was something else... will never forget!
Behold the most dangerous man in mma history! Also; Shogun and Overeem are there.
A young shogun was something else.
Sogun was so fucking scrappy, he never stopped moving and could scramble out of anything
this is one of my favorite knockouts of all time. i remember watching it for the first time and being shocked at how much power must had come down right onto Overeems chin
Man, that hook came from down town, went through the chin to canvas then nothing but bobble head.
from tokyo
@@Don-rl1sm w.t.f.
@@Don-rl1sm ... you meaning that since, bobblehead is a single word??
What a beautiful fight from both guys
Always good to see the goat at work: Steve Mazzagatti ❤
😂
🤣🤣🤣
that was sarcastic, right?
Pride was No Holds Barred
Shogun era fera demais.
Época de ouro do MMA.
E agora é época do que? Mma evoluiu demais e segue evoluindo, acompanho desde o começo, a maravilha desse esporte é que nunca estagnou e as gerações vem cada vez melhor, mto diferente dos outros esporte onde cabe esse saudosismo.
@@gabrielandrade28 hoje os lutadores ficam mais tempo se estudando do que lutando, muitos deles façam amarrando o outro na grade, não dão tudo de si , lutas amarradas , lutam para ganhar por pontos, encheram de regras que muitas vezes mais atrapalham do que ajudam. Antes, muitos lutadores tinham de se preparar para enfrentar três aniversários em um único evento, tinham que dar tudo de si.
I was there for that fight, it was such a good event. Love reading the comments here, lots of great insight.
Shogun stopped giving a damn.😂 💥 Love fighters with killer-instinct.
Shogun pra mim foi melhor ainda que Wanderlei Silva no Pride. Bons tempos.
Realmente , so perdeu uma por um acaso
1° brasileiro a ser campeão no pride e no UFC.
Perdeu??@@Edurodox1
The demolition Man, Alistair Overeem
before Alistair was juiced to the gills
He still was. Shut up about it
he was always juiced
Wow! I watched it twice. He didn't even cover up his face as the blow came down. That was fast as lighting!!! I remember people training and putting their own fists on their face and their elbows up in the air to prevent such blows.
Yeah. And some guys are really good at twisting themselves left or right when they're on the ground to make the other person miss their punch.
@@Don-rl1sm Please have some respect for others (no name calling as you ARE better than that) !! Sorry people have hurt you but it WASN'T ANY of us ! Hope things go well for you in life, YOU deserve it young man !
@@HamzaaGC what's a "donkeyboard"?
@@Don-rl1sm American that barley has a grasp of one language name a more iconic duo

Shogum derrubou muita gente , sempre sangue nos olhos
Da onde veio esse soco?? Rápido demais e certeiro pqp... assisti demais o pride viu... que época
Caramba shogun botava pra cima mesmo dos caras, foi derrubado umas 10 vezes e ainda virou o jogo e venceu, parabéns shogun. Brasil!
Shogun grande pessoa e lutador.
Shogun is the man, easily one of my favorites
Shogun forever. ist fighter I idolized. A real warrior.
My favorite Vale Tudo and MMA fighters: Wanderlei Silva, Shogun and Marco Ruas ❤
Ninja?
@@Blas4ublasphemy Maurício Shogun Rua
Met Mauricio many years ago in Las Vegas. He was a classy guy.
Shogun nessa época aí era embaçado!
Wow. These 2 warriors are beasts. Great match.
This fight showed MMA fans at the time Shogun didn’t need the soccer kicks or stomps to knock fighters out.
O homem era brabo 👏
When shogun was on, he was sort of magical. Then when he was off, he made you wonder if he was even an MMA fighter.
Wow what a comeback getting rag dolled and thrown about to getting top position and throwing that crazy shot what a legend shogun is
Pride in the US was not the same Pride in Japan. Still better than UFC.
SHOGUN ERA PHODA! WHAT A FIGHTER!
Wow! That definitely an awesome knock out, something like that rarely happens.
That punch landed so fast.
I met Overeem around that time in a grappling tournament (he grappled a weightclass above me), he was actually good on the ground and allready huge compared to most guys in his weightclass.
That punch diving down was wicked.
Congratulation Shogun the best
One of my all time favorite fighters that might be number one still. I loved him in Pride and he beat Alistair twice. Both fights he came back to win it as well. Awesome fighter and a legend along with so many others.
Tiro certeiro!
Wow- even before becoming ubereem overeem was jacked and a lot better than I realized. Seems like he was winning basically every fight but was chinny
He would have beat liddel if he wasn't so chinny imo
Yeah, weak mentally/gassed easily too. In PRIDE that is.
Cara que chapuletada muito rapido muito preciso e muita força perfeito!
Shogun tem história 👊
Sou fã d shogun
é muito legal ver e rever a cena: O Shogun fica em pé esperando o momento certo, o tempo exato de DESCER A MARRETADA nos cónios do Overeem. E quando desce, o cara tipo, SAI DO AR GERAL !! Foi na ponta do queixo, certinho !
We need gomi in the ufc 5 game
That might have been the hardest punch ever at 205. 💥
Shame most fans only saw Shogun in the UFC. Don't get me wrong: still had a HOF-worthy career there, winning the belt and having those insane wars with Hendo. But Shogun was a different animal before he fucked up his knees, when he had quickness and athleticism.
Overeem was a great figther!
wrong, r e t a r d. nothing but a steroids cheater
A lutas mais sensacionais de um lutador brasileiro. Lenda, Shogun!!!
Nostalgia... Prime Shogun
Skinny Overeem during Pride is great memories ❤
😮😮😮I've been a fan since forever... Really surprised I never saw this fight .The entire Rua Clan never dissapoints , All killers . On a mat or At the beach Rules or not , these men are true pioneers of MMA . Ninja alone has over 100 street scraps , mostly victorious. I'm going to watch it again , thanks for the post. Happy Holidays
Good job 🇨🇦
Shogun 👊
That was great.
😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
that KO was insane
Shogun era monstro de mais o melhor do Sul tbm😂😂
Not sure I have seen that level of precision from that position. Damn brutal.
Overeem tinha um domínio técnico que parece ter perdido com o tempo, administrou muito bem a luta... mas sendo br, minha admiração maior fica com o mestre Shogum!
Shogun before he blew his ACL 3 times was an absolute monster, shame we never really saw him peak in the UFC despite winning the belt & ending Machida's unbeaten run he was already past his best by that time
Wow Steve actually stopping a fight in time....a miracle.
Ha! Chuck Norris is in the crowd. Bottom left corner at 1:43.
Red T-shirt
Great eyes!
Pride was so good that even Mazzagatti did his job well.
Сëгун просто красавчик! Чётко попал! Почему я это раньше не видел?
Mi nha nossa o shogun era top!
Really good fight. Reem was trying to run from the ground game because he remembered how Shogun beat him down on the ground in their 1st fight. He was doing good early on just like in the first fight, but eventually Shogun got him down and put him away.
Сёгун очень тактичный и грамотный боец.
Damn, who else misses Pride?
Absolute killer
Epic
PRIDE 33 This was the great Gomi vs Diaz night . That fight was sick .
O melhor lutador na minha opinião, Samurai shogun
Amanzing 😅
When pride was no longer PRIDE FC 😢!… these glorious modern day gladiators! In Japan was different era! Different crowd, different rules 🥋
まだ細マッチョ時代のアリスターさん。 ショーグン得意のサッカーボールキックが禁止のルールでも充分強い！
Uma lenda ganhando de outra
Pre horsemeat overeem was still a beast.
he was always on steroids, r e t a r d
@@Don-rl1sm Wow......ton of anger, PLEASE let that anger go !!
I think he was probably on steroids in PRIDE too. It was a lot easier to do it there (probably almost encouraged) as PRIDE wanted entertainment and wasnt as serious as the UFC (I prefered PRIDE)
@@phineasgage8252 they didn't test for steroids in pride. best of luck in learning how to spell, m o r o n
