Shogun was top 10 and on a 4-fight win streak before this bout but there is nothing cool about beating past-prime legends.
In fact, it's actually really lame when a contender continually seeks out these type of opponents instead of fighting other promising prospects that match him/her in health and vigor.
Brendan Schaub, Ryan Bader, etc. were really fucking lame for that type of shit (and it's hilarious but they couldn't even roll through some of the past-prime legends they clamoured for).
Kelvin Gastelum is another lame-ass doing this shit (called out Anderson Silva just a year ago ffs).
