Shogun never had the same aura as those other guys. He was super fun to watch,but i mean,people had terror in their hearts fighting the rest.

Shogun was pretty feared especially when he dismantled Rampage. After that fight he was being talked about as one of the best ever.

TRT Vitor was legit scary

TRT Vitor was legit scary

How could I forget Vitor and Hendo? Both guys on TRT were scary and especially in their respected primes.

That fight was def a big deal. He never quite had such a dominating destruction of that sort. Machida 2 is the closest thing at the high level...but i think also that Rampage hadnt fully recovered from nearly losing his life at the hands of Wanderlei not even a year before. He had broken a rib early,and tried to tell his corner,and they didnt help him,and them not pulling him from the fight is what lead to him leaving Team Oyama. Still Shogun in 2005 was something else.

He destroyed Overeem twice and his win over Coleman was significant at the time. His loss to Forest Griffin is what screwed the hype up until he beat Machida both times.
