Chuck was only UFC LHW Champ at a time when the best fighters were in Pride. The moment those fighters crossed over to the UFC, Chuck got splattered.
So while Chuck did more for the sport in terms of building up the US fanbase, Shogun did more, taking the Pride MW GP, lording over the Pride MWs and eventually taking the gold in the UFC.
I would easily give the advantage to Shogun.
I wouldn't say that. He lost to Rampage and Shogun but beat Overeem and Wanderlei and Randleman.
