Anderson Should have went up and took out Shogun

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

If he wanted to be the goat.

That was his shining moment of opportunity.

Before Jon Jones got in there.

He had a fight at 205 already. He was dominant MW champion.

Instead of repeatedly calling out GSP to come to 185.

He would have been favoured against Shogun who was more or less shot.

It would have been legendary and he could have been the first real Champ Champ.

He knew who was going to win that

You could make the argument that calling out GSP to come up to 185 was more dangerous with less to gain.

 

[13Seconds]

I think Shogun would have mauled him. If we're talking 2009-2010

Prime Anderson beats every MW and LHW ever except perhaps prime Jones

Lol obviously no. Do you really think that?
There was a reason why Android wanted to be BFF with jones and wanted to fight GSP
Lmao

Dragon-Slayer Shogun beats Anderson. No-knees Shogun gets finished quicker than he was vs Jones.

His prime was that exact period between his 4th and 5th losses right? Anything before or after didn't count?

 

[Fedya]

Shogun was no Forrrest or Irvin. He would have stomped on Ando.

 

[Fesaine]

Lol Anderson didn't want any part of shogun after seeing what he did to his teammate machida.

Why were Champ vs Champ fights so unusual before Conor?

His prime consisted of a UFC record 16 fight win streak (17 overall) with 14 finishes, 11 title defenses, and 3 1st round LHW KOs

 

[MoneyMcGrabber]

Anderson knew Shogun really well.
If he didn’t make his case for a shot at a second belt, he knew better than us ‘doggers.

 

[Dan Torrance]

Nah, they spent too much time training together.

Too much legacy on the line for that fight.

I'm sure they would have fought in good spirits if their wasn't so much to lose.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Why were Champ vs Champ fights so unusual before Conor?

Because they ruin divisions.

 

[TheMessiah]

Anderson would have KOd Shogun. Shogun did really well against Machida but Anderson proved to be more durable and Machida fought too aggressively in the second fight

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Shogun mentioned he'd be open to fighting Anderson at one point. It caused a riff between them because Anderson said he'd never fight a friend. Shogun just saw it as a competitive fight but Anderson is one of those guys that says he'll never fight someone he trains with.

 

[LEWIS540]

Why were Champ vs Champ fights so unusual before Conor?

Conor never had one did he? Edit: I stand corrected.

BJ v GSP left a sour taste.

DC sits on him for 5 rounds.

Shogun sends Andy to sleepy town..
