chucks been unlucky in his fights, to be knocked out in a close fight aint that bad, happened against franklyn too,shogun is amazing

So good to see Shogun in shape. It really is a treat to watch if you like muay thai. The way he handled Liddell in this fight is amazing, the way he handled Machida is even better! May we have the longest reigning light heavyweight champion in history with Shogun!

Brasil é representado por ótimos lutadores no UFC! Eu sonho em ser um lutador e eu me inspiro na glória e nos gritos dos fans e claro nos ótimos lutadores BRASILEIROS! BRAAASSIL!!!!!!

Thank god for GSP representing Canada. Are there any top fighters left besides BJ penn from North America? Damn u foreign fighters taking over!!
|
BJ Penn is from Hawaii. So basically he's American, but not North American. sorry chum.

MACHIDA AND SHOGUN ARE MY FAVORITE FIGHTERS AND I WILL ADMITT THAT I WASN'T A MACHIDA FAN UNTIL HIS FIGHT WITH SOKODJOU. I HAVE TO GO WITH SHOGUN THOUGH BECAUSE HE'S BEEN MY BOY FOR YEARS, SO GO SHOGUN!...I BELIEVE THIS FIGHT WILL BE A WAR;AT LEAST 3 ROUNDS LONG. I THINK SHOGUN WILL BE PATIENT AND ATTACK HIS LEAD LEG TO NULLIFY LYOTOS QUICKNESS. SHOGUN'S GOT SOME MEAN LEG KICKS. ANYWAYS, I'M JUST HOPING HE DOESN'T GET CAUGHT WHILE DOING THIS. I ALSO HOPE IT GOES TO THE GROUND FOR AWHILE BECAUSE THAT'D BE VERY INTERESTING TO WATCH. TO SUM IT UP, I'M ALL FOR SHOGUN EVEN THOUGH I LIKE MACHIDA JUST AS MUCH.
P.S. I AGREE WITH YA LANDFILL....FUCK ALL YOU MAINSTREAM UFC BANDWAGON BITCHES. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT.
P.S.S. THIS FIGHT IS STRAIGHT OUT OF A VIDEO GAME...."STREET FIGHTER" STYLE. RYU VS SAGAT/ADON

Hey kid, might I suggest that you turn the fucking caps lock off? Seriously, that isn't necessary.

Who has Shogun fought who is so much more impressive than Rich Franklin, Tito Ortiz, BJ Penn, or Rashad? On one hand, I agree Machida hasn't fought too many people worth mentioning, but it was when Machida fought them that the majority of his opponents were shown to be overrated.
Shogun beat Rampage, Antônio Rogério Nogueira, Ricardo Arona and Kevin Randleman. Even though those fighters may have decent records and have had some entertaining fights I wouldn't really call any of them stellar except Nog (which is giving Nog a lot of credit considering how not well rounded he is). He has also lost to Sobral, Coleman and Griffin. These guys are all good, but not nearly the best and highlight a major deficiency in Rua's game. Barely winning a rematch against a 49 year old Coleman, whom was never that great doesn't inspire confidence.
I agree with the complaints about the Machida bandwagon jumpers, mainly because I stopped being able to make easy money off all the suckers who hadn't heard of him or thought "all you have to do is chase him down and stay aggressive and Machida will fold like a cheap lawn chair."

well, comparing what happened years ago in the past to the present seems senile to me...shogun beat rampage in the past, so did wandelei silva....looked what happened to wanderlei recently when his head collided with rampage's fist...what I am saying is some fighters improve or find the right camps, and others deteriorate..I think this fight is meant to be a gimme win for machida, so he makes his first title defence, but I think shogun might surprise everyone, as he was injured in his recent lack lustre fights,.so say what you want, but dont bring situations in the distant past to explain current situations, lets have intelligent conversation here and leave out the nonsense.

Man you need to STFU, you just cant accept the fact that Brazilians dominate the UFC, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira is better than ANY UFC american light heavyhweight fighter. Chuck Liddel got lucky that he was a UFC fighter instead of a PRIDE fighter. Chuck Liddell in pride wouldnt have been a champion in any division. You woundt call Rampaje Nogueira, and Arona top fighters????? THEN WHO would you call a top fighter. Shogun didnt fight for almost 2 years when he fought griffin and coleman not to mention it was his first 2 fights in the octagon. In my opinion Shogun should be the champ right now. Also MMA MATH DOES NOT WORK. LOL you probably think that Couture is the best huh?. Rogerio Nogueira not a well round fighter? He has the BEST ground game in his divison, and his boxing is world class, He won in Brazil in a boxing tournament and he got a bronze medal in the Pan American Tournament. Remembe these Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will eventually get a title shot and he might just win. Also Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Might become the UFC Heavyweight Champ. Thiago SIlva will own Rashad in UFC 108. and I will come and talk more shit about it.
