The UFC in 2018 ladies and gentlemen. What was the fucking point of making Oz/Shogun if you wanted to have him fight Gus all along?

Wrong, they're both going the Brendan Schaub route; killing off legends.

"Legends"?? The only "legend" Schaub beat was Crocop. In that case it be can called the "Ortiz route" since the only legend (at that time) he beat was Shamrock.

Shogun is an active fighter so I don't feel bad for him if Anthony Smith KOs him. It isn't Anthony's fault Shogun chooses to fight still. He's still pretty highly ranked too. Why would an unranked Anthony Smith not want this fight?

Oh, this fight doesn't bother me at all, I love it. I'm sick man that enjoys watching fanboys react to their washed up hero getting finished brutally.
Shogun could win though, if he works takedowns in like he did against Lil' Nog. God knows that Anthony sucks off his back.

I would lol so hard if Anthony "Who" Smith KOs Rashad Evans and Shogun Rua back to back.
That being said even the ghost of Shogun should sleep Lionheart, or at the worst win a decision.

Time for 2005 Shogun to make a comeback. Plus. If he can't win this one... Just forget the return to championship glory.

Shogun has a name and is a former champion, a highlight reel KO can get him 1 or 2 fights away from a title shot. It's on Shogun and his performance. Any reason he can't fight the loser of Teixeira/Latifi or Blachowicz and then be in line for a shot should he win that? With how Cormier and Jones are out of the division currently and Gus would probably be first in line should he win against Volkan, it's not a stretch to see Shogun fighting for a title soon in this shallow division. Unlikely given his recent performances and wear and tear on his body but not impossible.
