He was and still is that good. He used to destroy people, and a lot worse than he destroyed Liddell.

Those would all be great matchups for him to earn a title shot. If he's really back i would love to see Anderson Silva move up to 205 and challenge Rua. That would be a sick ass fight.

He was just running out of gas, and Haddad for sure fixed that. Shogun is one of the most gifted fighters I´ve ever seen, since the beginning of Pride. I just dont agree that his prime was against Nogueira. After Nogueira fight, he fought on the same day against Alistair Overeem (in the same event that Shogun defeated Nogueira, Overeem deafted one of the most feared Heavyweights in Pride, Igor Vovchanchyn) and in the Pride GP Finals he murdered Ricardo Arona. That point for me was his prime. However, Shogun is so young and talented that he might not even have reached his prime yet, and that´s scary. Shogun was never gone.

I haven't seen him look that good in a while. I was so hyped for this fight and it delivered. I honestly think Shogun could have went 3 full rounds no problem. Bring on all the naysayers that say he didn't answer any questions b/c he knocked him out in the first round. I guess this earns him a title shot since apparently all you have to do is knock out Liddell. Worked for Rashad Evans. Shogun is back!! I haven’t seen him look that good in a while.

Just keep your fingers crossed until the drug tests come out. It'll be interesting who they match him up with next. Jardine should be available. Rich Franklin would present a more interesting style match, if he's going back to 205 and if he gets past Wanderlei in June. He did look in phenomenal shape and ready to go a full 3 rounds this time.

I haven't bet on a fight in 6 months, but I knew this would be it. I had it as a round 2 tko, because I figured it would take an entire round for them to feel each other out. I was off by about a minute. Cory,
