Man people are really disillusion. Three fight win streak, one fight which II thought he lost, and not he's going for the title. Maybe he gets one with a win if the UFC is feeling generous and so DC will take one fight before Brock but for anyone giving him any kind of chance against DC is insane. Rumble couldn't take him out but an out of prime Rua has a shot smh.
i don't think people are giving him a real shot, they just WANT him to win because it would be an awesome comeback story and at the same time totally revamp the LHW division.
but he definitely has a shot at KO'ing anyone. just because Rumble couldn't take him out doesn't indicate Shogun can't. Shogun has a better gas tank, much more heart, and a natural killer instinct that Rumble doesn't. i'm not saying he's a better fighter than Rumble, but he poses a different kind of threat than Rumble does.
everyone knows, survive a few rds with Rumble, make him fight a fight he doesn't want to fight, and sooner rather than later he'll just fold.
that is not the case with Shogun, if you want to beat Shogun you literally have to BEAT him.
