UFC needs to change its rules to include stomps. Even if it did, I think Shogun Rua would have trouble in the cage. The fight is too hyped up and there is too much on the line... the comfort isnt there. Regardless, I'll watch Rua whoever he fights. Chuck Liddell vs Shogun is one of my 5 most watched matches atm.

I think he will do well against most LHWs but Lidell just seems like a bad match up for Rua in my head. I don't think he will be able to take him down or clinch effectively and Lidell has heavy hands whereas Rua doesn't in comparrison. So I will go Liddell TKO in the 2nd.

It is unreal how quickly athletes are coming back from these injuries now. I would rather see him lay off another 3-6 months and be 100% healthy and confident in his knee.
