Fans of mixed martial arts all round the globe are in for any major treat on March 19.
Enthusiasts of mixed martial arts all round the planet are in for any large deal with on March 19. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua has joined the UFC and will be fighting Ultimate Fighter winner Forrest Griffin in his debut match. Shogun was a standout from the Pride organization and UFC supporters can assume huge issues from him.
Mauricio Rua sports activities a mixed martial arts report of sixteen wins and two losses. Those losses coming in the hands of existing UFC light heavyweight contender Renalto “Babalu” Sobral when Rua was still just studying the MMA game and also a loss to a significantly bigger Mark Coleman who slammed Rua and broke his arm. Shogun considers his reduction to Babalu as his only genuine loss and says another was only a freak accident.
In the win class, Mauricio Rua has some impressive credentials, such as a win about present-day UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson. A battle which Shogun dominated and easily won by initial round KO. Actually, in order to get an idea of Shogun’s genuine abilities, that’s a good battle to look at. It displays his aggression, strength and agility. Shogun commences on the bell and does not end right up until his opponent has quit or is knocked out.
Mauricio Rua also has wins above other notable light heavyweight fighters like Alistair Overeem (actually, 2 wins) and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. He also holds a 1st round submission victory around previous UFC champion Kevin Randleman. Even though these victories are all impressive and against leading stage expertise, it can be his win in excess of Ricardo Arona which stands out. You see, Shogun defeated Ricardo Arona to win the Pride Middleweight Grand Prix tournament. The truth is, his run on the Pride Middleweight Grand Prix is just about the most impressive win streaks in all of MMA with wins above Quinton Jackson, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Alistair Overeem and Ricardo Arona; all in the row as well as the last two to the exact same night. It is important to be aware that Quinton Jackson retains two victories above former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell and Ricardo Arona had just defeated previous Pride middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva.
The UFC will likely be a fresh knowledge for Shogun who will ought to learn about to make use of elbows in place of stomps and soccer kicks on downed opponents. Rua will also need to get made use of to fighting inside a cage. Shogun has some cage knowledge, however the majority of his career continues to be from the Pride organization wherever a ring is used. Assuming that Shogun can adjust to your rule differences there’s no limit to what he can accomplish while in the UFC. His fighting model is agressive and fan pleasing. He fights to win, to not not loose. He always goes for that submission or knock out. This design from time to time gets him into difficulty, but he constantly appears to be to get his way out. If he gets previous his very first check in opposition to Forrest Griffin I anticipate that he’ll be made available a title shot against the winner of Quinton Jackson and Dan Henderson, on September 8th, or not less than a shot at a person with the UFC’s top 3 light heavyweight contenders.
I believe that Mauricio Shogun Rua is simply also good to be denied an UFC belt for extended. He already includes a significant decisive win above the present belt holder along with a rematch, if Jackson wins around Hendo, seems unavoidable. 1 matter even though, I don’t anticipate Shogun to hold the belt for lengthy, his wild, reckless type will catch approximately him eventually and he will get caught. He will, nonetheless be with the prime from the UFC light heavyweight division for that foreseeable future.
