That guy remindes me a lot of another ufc returnee in Baroni as thoes two guys always come to fight and they wont quit.

That right hand he put him to sleep with was murderous. But the threat of him using also helped out a lot. Remember the Arona pounding. God Pride was awesome wasnt it. True very true.

Brutal ground and pound, no soccer kicks or stomps needed. He used them, yeah, but look at his second win over Overeem.

Maybe ‘05 Shogun will come back, who knows? If he does, there’s nothing that says he can’t beat Machida." I think the only way he goes back to that Shogun is if he fights in a promotion with stomps and knees on the ground. I think that part of his game was the best in the world and it really hurts him in the UFC now that he cant use those tools. “Man, what I wouldn’t given to have ‘05 Shogun taking on ‘09 Machida.

Rua wants to go up for maney and marketing, Silva just wants to face better fighters and get challenged.

Does he really think he's going to compete with gigantic wrestler/strikers like Lesnar, Carwin, or Velasquez? This fight with Machida will show for good how overrated Rua is since coming over from Japan. Shogun should focus on surviving the karate ass whipping he’s going to take from Machida first.

I think I've heard 225-230, but I am not for sure. A move to MW, possible, but I doubt it. Seems the growing trend is to move up, not down.
