Probably the most consistently entertaining fighter at LHW ever. His run through the 2005 Grand Prix in Pride was my favorite experience as a fan of mma.
imo he is the second most exciting lhw of all time. Wanderlei was just like him but more vicious
Yea man those were the days
Same. It's what got me into this sport as a kid. Watching the Pride reruns on Spike... Good times. I wish we could've seen the real Shogun in the UFC. The knee injuries really limited him. Still became champ even without some of his best weapons though
@@gigglesworthproductions4032 I think shogun gave better beatings wanderlai looked more intimidating
@A & G I agree. Shogun was a better fighter but Wanderlei fought more wrecklessly and more exciting but both were awesome
Shogun is probably one of the last of the old school fighters that are still fighting at the UFC. respect.
Arlovski
Werdum is gone also
Overeem
Reem is the only one still ranked

Let's be honest he's a future hall of famer
No ones arguing
He already is, by means of his fight with Hendo
I'm sure everybody knows that
AsinLoveyunz.link
Let’s lie, he won’t... 🥴
*The guys a legend, its a shame people seem to forget all the iconic moments and achievements after a few losses down the years. These legends need to be remembered...*
Him, Renato Sobral, Ricardo Arona are the guys that got me into it. Pioneers of the sport, they're a big part of MMA making it global.
Pride 😥
Proper legend, he came on the scene like a tornado, fighters couldn't believe he was fkin them up. Smashed overeem twice, that's no joke. Full props.
@@marksheppard4475 He’s in my favourite fight of ALL TIME, Hendo vs Shogun. I remember watching it live and being so excited the entire way through witnessing such a blast. Will never forget that.
Hendo never beated Rua in my eyes fuck those judges
Shogun Rua deserves to enter the UFC Hall of Fame
All the old man legends like werdum, vitor......etc

When he beat Rampage all of Asia went crazy !!!
True champ hope he calls it a day and doesn’t keep going... enough is enough
He loves it, also 1 loss in his last 7 since 2014 against good competition cant blame him for keeping going still in his 30s somehow
@@andruddy8229 Yeah, he is just so slow now and he gets beat up even when he wins. My favorite fighter ever, but I don't wanna see him become a vegetable at 50.
His run in Pride was the best single year of any MMA fighter in the sports history!
Yeah he has an underrated highlight real
PRIDE FOREVER!!!

Very true. That year I became a fan. When he was young he was all action and he always goes for the kill
Yup, that 2005 run was insane, and all in 4 months, jones also had a great year, bader, shogun, rampage, machida. but I still prefer shoguns year to be most legendary.
Shogun is 5-1-1 in his last Fights. What a Legend..
Yeah he had a good low key recent run. It’s so damn stressful to watch him tho lol. He takes a lot of hits these days
@@devadasn also he looked stiff
He should be 6-1 in his past 7 fights, I thought he did enough the beat Craig the first time. Good thing though is that they get another opportunity to settle the score.

PRIDE never die
Shogun is My favorite fighter.
Shogun in his prime was a monster
He was, until he met Jon Jones. He was never the same after that.
@@H.K.5 One look at the Shogun that went in against Jones and you knew he wasn't the same even before the fight.
I think his knees were so shot at that point no surgeries could save them.
They held out just long enough for him to beat Machida. If the same Shogun that fought Liddell and Machida went in against Jones it would not have been so one sided of a fight.
Don't get me wrong, Jones still would have won, he's the LHW GOAT and a freak, but Shogun would have at least given him a decent fight unlike the beat down we saw.
@@H.K.5 nope because he's been rehabing his knee before that fight happened
@@H.K.5 it always sucks to see fighters have that one fight that changes them. I remember wanderlei being completely different after being flatlined by cro cop
@@j_ito01 silva had been through so much up until that point, that nasty kick from cro cop must have did a serious concussion....
Shogun in 2005 for Pride was one of the best ever years for any fighter in MMA, knocked out Arona, Overeem and beat Lil Nog for the Pride Middleweight Grand Prix, and destroyed a Prime Rampage Jackson that same year. Without injuries he would have been top 3 MW/LHW of all time
Me: How many times have you been knocked out?
Overeem: Yes.

Chuck: "Yes."

Me: How many times you want to get impregnated?
Your mother: Yes
@Raja Araib Altaf at least he was entertaining when he was on the juice
I feel the pride era and early ufc were the golden years of MMA, because back then there were still some unknown things when it comes to the styles of fighting but the fighters were already at a very high level.
Shogun has been my favorite fighter since I started watching MMA back in pride. I teared up watching him win the belt and the only fighter I would love to meet! It'll hit me when he retires...
A humble person. Epitome of a true fighter and sportsman
Shogun is one of the best to ever do it in the sport.Its amazing how many years Shogun has been active,100% LEGEND!
Fun fact about shogun, in Brazil he's "our Miocic". Sometimes it's simply impossible to understand what he spoke.
I didn't know that. You speak his language?
Lmao
@@dankk2754 I lmao'd your mother. She thanked me.
@@plisskennn i dont think you know what lmao is
Bem verdadeiro eu como brasileiro nem sei 90 % do tempo nem tenho a mínima idea o oque que ele tá falando
I’m sure Wanderlei Silva told Shogun to clinch Rampage
They knew rampage had a rib injury also
His pride dominance is still one of the best runs/campaigns i've seen in MMA to date. What a legend.
Shogun vs Henderson, wauw!
I like how he was 5'10" and the next fight he was 6'1"
One of the best ever.
PRIDE NEVER DIES!
Jon Jones put a beating on him like he never trained MMA in his life. He lost his pride.
Show me that affliction tee boomer! 🍻
@@plisskennn No he didn't.
Pride is pride Man!!
AsinLoveyunz.link
My favorite fighter! That 2005 Pride Grand Prix is the ultimate tournament ever!
His soccer kick was legend
Such an awesome, humble, complete fighter. True warrior spirit.
Time lines are dope for educating casuals
😂
timlins iri dipi fir idiciting cisils mimimi
Won the UFC title 6 years after his prime
prime shogun was a finisher and beat lots of legends in there prime.
He influenced my life more than any other fighter
The more I watch Shogun vs Henderson 1... the more I remain convinced that it may be the best non-title fight between established veterans in MMA history.
Plus was a draw really
@Douche Monkey yes mate , he definitely was winning the rematch but the h - bomb detonated and rearranged shogun's nose lol
Rua won that
I love Machida, but shogun taking the title from him was my favorite comeback moment in mma history, and it sounds like the crowd agreed. That was thunderous.
Edit: (career comeback)
Never a bad fight if Shoguns involved.
Pride entrances were the best
@Call Me Special Forces yes
@Call Me Special Forces yes .
@Call Me Special Forces yes .
@Call Me Special Forces yes .
@Call Me Special Forces final yes .
Without a doubt one of the GOATS
jesus christ the speed of the ground punch on Overeem... in the slowmo replay it was still just instant... wow
One of my favourite fighters. Absolutely legend
Shogun deserves a spot amongst the greatest of all time
Watching Wanderlei clap and cheer for Shogun is bomb. This was during the reign of Chute Boxe in Pride, and man they had some killers.
*SHOGUN and WANDERLEI are LEGENDS !!! I miss the good old Chute Boxe days.*
*Shogun was robbed in first of the Machida and Hendo fights !!!*
Proud Shogun fan checking in. I know what I see: he's not nearly the same fighter he was 10-15 years ago (which goes without saying). Having said that, he's 5-1-1 in the past 5 years. A lot of that is matchmaking, sure, but his heart has certainly played a role. Every one of those fights was very close, aside from the L to Smith.
One of the trailblazers in MMA man is a finisher of the highest order which made him a fan favorite
This man is a damn legend he beat the best and when he lost he came back better he now stands older and near the end of his carrer but he will forever in my mind be one of the greates light heavyweights of all time in my opinion he was the third greates light heavyweight with jones and dc in front but a part from that....legend all the way through
Shogun,uma lenda do MMA!
People forget but his run before the ufc was legendary. Too bad his brother ninja never came to the ufc. I think he would have made it to the top in his prime
Been a fan since started watching mma as a young boy, one of the best to ever do it! Thank you for all the years
My guy still has a fight left on his UFC contract.
He has seen the evolution of MMA from the Pride days to the UFC.
Shogun is MMA no matter what people say 🔥
Chute box is MMA. Any of those guys from that era
I miss the old school UFC days!

**Foreshadowing**
Nothing but respect for this great legend!🙏
Absolute legend. Thats also an understatement!
There were fighters back in the day that just wanted a war. Wanderlei Silva, Robbie Lawler, Shogun Rua, etc. I miss those types.
Shogun finishes are so classic
My first favorite fighter when I was a kid. What a legendary warrior
Let's go Mauricio! Win or lose, always my favorite fighter. Definitely needs to be in the HOF for UFC Champions.
Loved this guy, what a beast.
dude is already a legend and has done it all enough fighting already
i have always been fan of him especialy when he fought in prid. he was so good with socer kicks
PRIDE NEVER DIE
WHAT A LEGEND.
*True Legend*

Shogun pre knee surgeries was an all time great. Injuries took a toll on his athleticism.
Legend.
The best rua....
Uma lenda
Holy fuck Shogun is amazing, the power🤯💯💯
legend
Very good
One of my all time favorites. Shogun-Henderson best fight ever!!
UFC Champ Pride Champ. Nothing left to prove.
Shogun in his prime was an absolute gift. That Grand Prix run in 05 was the kind of run they write for movies. He’s had a good stint in the UFC as a whole becoming their LHW champ and all but the older fans know that the UFC got Shogun as he was beginning to fade. Would have loved to have seen Shogun and Jones go at it in their respective primes. Would’ve been a much better, back and forth fight than what we got I think.
Rua is one of my favorite LHW of all time fucking legend!!!!
The legend shogun rua
One of my favourite fighters when I first got into mma back in 2010 just wish he retires now hes not the same
His counter of machida was legendary
Shogun is a str8 Monster!!!
I miss PRIDE FC what a mood !
Shogun is a Legend 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
...cant deny how good he was, please understand why its time to call it soon. You are forever in the hall of fame just be able to enjoy it.
People dont know this guy was on another level once
