shogun man you won that belt@! it breaks my hearts to see you train so hard for nothing but wait it was for somthing we all know in our hearts your the true champion.
I just can not believe how humble Shogun is. He is so famous, rich and good fighter - and yet he never show off. unlike 95% of mma fighters.
sou do jiu jitsu mas sei reconhecer quando o cara e bom no que faz parabens shogun torço por voce
Shogun is by far my fav fighter in Brazil, he is very humble and a great fighter.
Great game plan Shogun you won in my mind and im sure in everyone elses. Your one of my fav fighters dont worry you'll get him next time.
Been waiting for one of these videos for a while AHHHHH War Rua
The training paid off congratulations shogun
i really want to see the judge's score cards and how they broke it down. it was a close fight and one of the most technical i've seen in a while. truly a great fight imo. i was rooting for machida in the beginning but shogun really shined in this fight. extremely close match but i would have to go with shogun. i hope it doesn't take too long for a rematch.
the REAL champion, period!
shogun has been my fav fighter since 2004 since the old pridefc days he is the crown jewel that ufc got from pride and he sure showed it when he put away machida!
great humble fighter :)
War Shogun!!!!!!!! You're tha man!!!!!!!!!!
those kicks are vicious!
Mauricio Rua the man!!!Can't wait for the rematch next time it will be WAR lol
i would love to see shogun come out with the same strategy, that would be a guarantee victory for machida
shogun is just the best...
Gosto pra caramba do Lyoto e do Shogun, prefiro não torcer pra ninguem... mas quero que shogun ganhe! ahaha
Word.
even that watch the match again rua was the aggressor and landed as many shots, even in machidas fluerys he wasnt really connecting, and shogun was connecting hard, damage plus successful aggressive attack
Well fucking said my friend!
goes to show, don't ever let a fight go to a decision. you never know how the judges will score the bout.
Andre Neuman has one of the sickest tatoos on his arm that ive ever seen.
Shogun is the most relentless fighter in the world. No matter what he comes ready to fight and throw down even if he is hurt. In this fight their could be early fireworks. War Shogun!
We salut Shogun the CHAMPION
shogun quoted "I can't count that fight as a loss"
What's the name of the Japanese music that they play at the start?
WAAAAAAAAAAR SSSSSHOOOOOOOGUN!
yeah Shogun should be the LH champ right now
March 19, lets go! I hope Shogun wins, considering he has come off his third major knee surgery.
@XxCHUTEtoKILLxX Do you know who will be the challenger?
No he's not "just a simple MMA fighter with MT + BJJ skills" He's got great take down defense, while also being great at the take down. He's taken down both Chuck Liddell and Quinton Jackson, which is something Kevin Randleman couldn't even do. He's also great at parrying/blocking punches and kicks, and counter-punching. He hits his opponents 4 times more than they hit him. As far as his BJJ and MT, both arts are on an elite level, especially his MT. He's also working his boxing.
Personally the fight that i really want to see is Shogun vs Mousassi! I think this will be a sick fight! talk about punches,knees,elbows, ! That be the best lightheavyweight fight in my opinion! And i'd rather watch that than the rematch with Machida! Ofcourse i would love to see shogun beat Machida for the belt! But man Mousassi is a monster, love to see him face Shogun!Other greats fights obviously Fedor vs Brock! And any fight by fedor! He's the best and i just wanna see him fight!
The point of the legs kicks were to take away lyoto's legs so he could be slower in the later rounds and easier to hit. It worked but the judges didn't agree which is a shame because i scored it for Rua
Shogun is the best he will be champion
Shogun needs to train like this again if he wants the belt back. He was so thin against Machida in the 1st fight then got to fat in the rematch and fight with Jones.
@satiricon25 if im not mistaken rashad evans ....... i think shogun will do fine
you SICKEN me
I put a shogun pic up on my fitness calender and Jiu Jitsu schedule. He is not a jiu jitsu fighter first but this fight inspired me to train hard after all Shogun went through with injuries. As for the Percentage landed talk goes, if I hit someone 3 times out of 3 thrown and that guy counters and blasts me all fight but has a 70% rate , I should win???? Give me a break this is fighting... not math!
I have to say I cannot see him winning the belt, although it will be a great fight hopefully
"...the footwork of someone with 80kg, and the power of someone with 100kg." Very True. WAR SHOGUN!!!
@wanderleitheaxe Yup. He has a very good chance of dry humping Shogun to a decision. Rashad has an extremely suspect chin though, so I see shogun finishing him. If he hurts Rashad like Rampage did, it's pretty much over. Not to mention Rua's BJJ is amazing too..
@soreal4eva yesss thank god the judges can't rob that knockout from him like they did the decision in the first fight
Shogun's got some hammy legs...that's why his kicks are so devastating.
k soo you do powerlifting not martial arts(wrestling bjj boxing etc)?
did you call shogun a simple fighter? Have you ever even watched him fight? seriously in pride he was like the most dynamic fighter they had, he threw crazy kicks, flying stomps, rolled for knee bars you name it he could do it.
SHOGUN
the shin ones or high kicks
even though shogun lost a couple times, he's still the greatest! but lyoto's record is 16 or 15 wins and 1 loss.
why would he go heavy? the real training is when he does sparing or wrestling and he prob working on endurance for the fight which was 5 round
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua true champion of Light heavy weight division. Shogun won the fight no doubt in my mind. good job shogun for beating the dragon. Judges score cards dont matter, we all know the truth and its not hard to see.
Forreal man straight up u tell'em nyblake. These new MMA fans just hopping on some bandwagons and shit. Prolly don't even know about the glory days of PRIDE, man those were some good times, 10 min 1st rounds, soccer kicks and stomps to the head, no elbows. I'm going for Machida but I cheer for both and got a lot of love for Shogun. It's only that with them fighting each other, I'm put into a situation which I have to choose between 2 fighters I like a lot. WAR MACHIDA WAR SHOGUN
Wow you're cool
I would love to see shogun come out with the same strategy BUT this time the kicks should be in the head, if Lyoto head gets like his legs was in the match with the vicious kicks than Lyoto will walk out without a head and a guarantee victory for SHOGUN!!
you know since they trained together at the Chute Boxe academy, I seriously think that Shogun is the the most able to defeat Silva... just like a said a week ago for the Shogun/ machida bout, machida and Silva never encounter a real striker who can use his legs as good as they can do, I think Anderson just like machida saturday night would have some problem developing his game with an explosive and relentless striker like shogun
i hope they have a rematch....shogun should of won that one.
SOGHUN IS DA CHAMP
best 205
fine....he lost fair and square. No excuses. But I must say he showed great heart and took a lot of damage. Lets hope he can come back stronger with a different game plan. But he ain't no bitch. A guy who takes a shin to the face and keeps fighting has my respect.
thats what it is both of the ones i just said
@wanderleitheaxe yeah, but thiago almost got him too. 3 fights where he was either very close or was knocked out. If it wasn't for Rashad's chin i'd think that he'd win the fight via wall and stall/lay and pray, but there is no way he'll be able to take a shot from shogun
That's right. Train for that money, boy
It was more of a question i did not want to offend you dude soo sorry if i did. What i meant was you cant focus too much on strength or else you wont be able to train for martial arts. especialy powerlifting its alot of stress for the sns.and you dont need that much of raw strength you need a mix of endurance and strength (conditioning,poly,anaerobic training) personnaly i tried squating 2-3 times a week way too hard with boxing and wrestling personaly nowadays i only do it when am not competing
if u look close it is not carbage at all
I can see why people think Shogun won, but I agreed with the judges. It was razor close though. Neither fighter commited themselves, I saw enough of Rua to think he may be back to his 2005 best but I certainly don't think the fight was a joke. Machida just won a very close decision. Shogun was unlucky, but he was certainly not robbed.
@XxCHUTEtoKILLxX march actually
Unfortunately a lot of the techniques in Boran don't really translate well when dealing with professionally trained fighters. But I do agree, it's a much more beautiful art form than Muay Thai (which is more about efficiency and power).
Shogun is smart enough to fight differently next time. I doubt Machida will be knocking him out in the next fight.
@ninjion LMMFAO XD u are awesome!!
bobia até aqueles caminhoneiro gordao arrebenta a cara desse maluko.
right
@JohnKreeseCobraKai shogun is the LHW champion, the reason why shogun lost to forrest griffin because shogun had a knee injury and he wasnt 100% but if they fight again shogun will win.
high kick or high knees thats what it look like
Even the crowd was booing when Lyoto got the decision... Worst judges ever! Shogun dominated Lyoto..
Everyone knows i don't like Shogun but he owned Machida tonight. It's disgusting that Machida got his hand raised. Makes the Bisping/Hamil fight look legit.
I would hive anything to have the privilege to train with these guys
No, most legit MMA fans know Shogun's striking prowess and how he dominated Pride. It's the new American fans who don't really know who he is.
i actually picked lyoto to win before the fight and i saw Shogun winning about 4/5 rounds.. it wasnt even close.. they should reverse the decision and give shogun his belt
@JohnKreeseCobraKai Uh oh it aooears Eric Cartman's gotten himself a you tube acount. Nice!
If by kicking Shoguns ass you mean running away from him for 5 rounds and getting his legs fucked up then yes Machida kicked Shoguns ass.
poor shogun got ripped off. He worked his ass off, everyone knows he won the fight. I feel really bad for him
@JohnLawrenceCobraKai I can't tell if you're being serious or not....
you didn't see him miss anything? rua kept letting his arms out when he missed he had his timing perfect, this was bullshit, he didn't win in aggression or octagon control at any time, which are 2 criteria for judging not just percentage of strikes, damage is also considered, he won 3 of the four i just mentioned in all rounds, YOU live with it
or Anderson VS Shogun :)
I think Lyoto roots himself. Two completely different styles.
this goes out to overthehill91 if your talking about that machida won cuz of percentage so if landed 1 out of 1 thats 100 percent and shogun landed 2 out of 4 that 50 percent . shogun still landed more than machida that doesnt mean that machida land the best blows shogun did and he got robbed BIG TIME .
olha o tamanho desse kara, ele nem tem massa muscular suficiente pra luta porra. o mike tyson luta com um braço amarrado e acaba com ele.
Shogun defintely won the fight but he didnt do enough to win the belt! Id love to see a rematch! Machida is starting to annoy me with counter striking techniques, he never makes a move until he gets attacked and for us fight fans, we called that just plain boring! he needs to attack more, or were just gonna get bored as hell everytime he fights and possibly the ppv buy rates will go down when machida fights cuz of his boring tactics! Lets go Shogun!!!
If Machida clearly beat Shogun why are they having an immediate rematch? Even Dana White said he thought Shogun won the fight
@fromgtogents16 Right. So why not do the same to Demian Maia? I enjoyed the dancing for 2 rounds. Then it got ridiculous. What was Silva trying to do? Distract him all the way to a decision? Listen, I'm not saying Silva isn't the best pound for pound fighter in the world. I'm just saying his choice to just toy w/ people is getting annoying.
@JohnKreeseCobraKai84 Nope. i just know when someone has CobraKai in their username, it has something to do with karate XD.
I said*
holy crap he spoke english.
Whoa he spoke english
Haha.
@JohnKreeseCobraKai84 LOL machida fan much?
hahahahahahahahah~
paper indeed. As a matter of fact now that you put it like that, Macheata doesn't even have the right to be called champion.
i've explained this with countless people on youtube who haven't got a clue of how physiology works, so alright, you go ahead and lift 135 pound and call yourself a fighter, i'm going to squat 405 @ 153 and call myself a man.
Hmm.. i wonder if Shogun can beat Silva! It be a good fight! But Anderson Silva does look real good especially he toyed around with Forest Griffin! But ofcourse Shogun is much more complete compared to Forest! So it be a good fight!
shogun and drake kind of look like each other in my opinion
