Do Shogun and Rashad have the most common opponents...

[FallonFoxGOAT]

I don't think DC was ranked in the top 10 before the Hendo fight. A fight against Shogun will do nothing for Rashad at this point. Rashad should fight Glover or Gus (depending on if Gus doesn't get the title shot).

DC was ranked #4 and Hendo #6

IIRC

 

[GrindingANARCHY]

Rashad would shoot for the TD asap. If he can wear down Shogun in the first, he will coast to a decision. If Rashad stands with Shogun, he is getting knocked out. Slobum via KO

 

[Dart Feld]

I think Shad would take it.

It proved more than that silly fight Rashad had with Lil Nog when he forgot he could wrestle. Also it proved you were wrong cuz you picked Sonnen to beat Rashad.

Is your AV from EA UFC lol?

 

[UL]

I'd rather not see them fight

Shogun wasn't that impressive in his last fight, making big mistakes which he shouldn't be

Evans would shoot straight away and just wear Shogun down to a decision

But that's the gameplan for most fighters for Shogun

Except Hendo

Still though Shogun catches him and it will be goodnight for Evans so it is winnable for Shogun but I'd say 65-35 Evans

 

[Kwic]

Are we talking about the same Rashad that recently lost to Lil-Nog and ran all night against Dan Henderson?

His beating Sonnen doesn't prove much as Sonnen is a known quitter.

He didn't run at all surprisingly, even Dan said that he stood with him.

 

[Cro Cop Is Back]

I think Rashad and Shogun would be a great fight.

 

[GoshiShun17]

At this stage, Rashad would finish Shogun. Even at UFC 128, the shape that Shogun came in, Rashad would of finished him aswell.

Honestly I doubt it. Rashad doesn't have the highest IQ for finishing. Besides I really think your discrediting Jones talking about the "shape Shogun was in."

 

[Kanster]

Prime Shogun blasts him.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Maybe run Travis Fulton's record against Wiuff or Shannon Ritch...

-Chael
embarrassing loss for Shogun, dominant win for Rashad

-Lil Nog
FOTY win for Shogun, boring ass fight with Rashad dont even remember who "won"

-Rampage
Brutal highlight KO win for Shogun, lackluster dec. win for Rashad

-Machida
FOTY win/robbery for Shogun, highlight KO win Shogun, brutally legendary shadface KO loss for Rashad

-Jones
Embarrassing TKO loss for Shogun, embarrassing dec. loss for Rashad

-Hendo
GOAT fight dec. loss for Shogun+flukish KO loss after dominanting, boring dec. win for Rashad

-Griffin
post-knee injury sub loss for Shogun+dominant highlight KO win for Shogun, brutal KO win for Rashad

-Chuck
Highlight reel KO wins for both, though Rashads was a little more impressive and he did it first

pretty interesting, they are almost even in results. Prime for prime Shogun KOs Rashad IMO, but if they fought today Rashad would work him over pretty bad.
