Do you guys think Shogun is still in the UFC cause of the Machida and Hendo fights?

[CereserBr]

What you guys think? These are the fights that made him a legend.

 

[SlicerDM]

Beating Machida made him a legend.

 

[yeguiza]

he´s still in UFC because they don´t want his draw power in bellator

this is about money

 

[Conor McTouchbutt]

Beating Machida made him a legend.

Beating him twice

 

[L0ki]

He was a legend years before that in Pride.

Pretty much all of his fights have been barn burners.

Had the judges got it right, his UFC record should be 8-6-1.

 

[CTYankee]

No. It was the 2005 Grand Prix that made Shogun.

 

[loyalyolayal]

No. It was the 2005 Grand Prix that made Shogun.

No it was Kanehara who made Shogun.

 

[Ladder Master]

Imagine what Shoguns record would look like if he didn't require multiple knee surgeries.

 

[Phronimos]

He has a huge fan base. He's a superstar in Brazil, Japan, and other places.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

He was a legend because of his run in 2005 alone. His Machida and Hendo fights are amazing too.

Despite being shot he is very entertaining and if the UFC makes the right matches ups he can make some more epic fights.

The UFC loves guys that entertain.

So why did Tito not get cut? what were his legendary fights?

Ex champs that have been around for a long time don't get released. they get the retirement talk.

Shogun in Belator would be nice... fightn in rizin, fights with mo, mcgeary, rampage... nice!

Can't have a Shogun thread without one of these. Probably why he has the most hated fan base.

 

[CereserBr]

No it was Kanehara who made Shogun.

poor kanehara

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

He is still in UFC because of money. he is totally disinterested and has been for a few years now. Shogun is a legend, but last few years he doesnt even train much and is disinterested. did you see the UFC 198 promo with the 5 Brazilian fighters? he looked like he was gonna fall asleep.

 

[yeguiza]

Shogun in Belator would be nice... fightn in rizin, fights with mo, mcgeary, rampage... nice!

agree
those are the shogun fights i want to see today

 

[shococham]

He did good in the UFC but he was a legend in Pride. The UFC Shogun < Pride Shogun, not even close.

 

[VIPERdude]

Beating him twice

I disagree, watched it a many times and Machida's blitz attacks are what made the difference in that first fight. Everyone has their opinion which I respect.

Can't have a shogun thread without one of these guys.

Probably why you're a basement dweller.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I think it's because they know someone like me is always going to tune in for Shogun
