Shogun: Critics are like virgin who watches porn and thinks he knows everything about boning *Cliffs

[rothnroll]

Mauricio “Shogun” Rua is a legend in mixed martial arts. The former PRIDE Middleweight Grand Prix Champion and former UFC light heavyweight champion had his first professional fight in 2002 but has had a hot and cold record particularly in the later half of his career.

Despite coming off a win in a “Fight of the Night” against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, some critics question “Shogun’s” abilities and recent performances in the Octagon.

Rua addressed facing criticism as a star fighter in an interview with Combate recently and did so with a very interesting comparison (transcribed by Bloody Elbow).

“It’s the price you pay when the sport starts to grow. There’s more criticism, more people bugging you. I’m going to give you a pornographic example. I don’t want to generalize, because only a few fans do that. Some people feel good when they go on the internet to criticize. They are like a virgin guy who watches porn all his life and thinks he knows everything about boning, but never had sex. It’s the same thing. Most fans support me. When someone is your fan, they like you as a person and an athlete. Brazilian are fans of results, though. This example goes to that small amount of fans. The virgin who thinks he knows how to bone. They are keyboard warriors.”

“Shogun” is set to face Corey Anderson in a stacked UFC 198 card in his hometown of Curitiba, Brazil on May 14th.


Clffs: Which one of you Shertards was Shogun talking about?

 

[rothnroll]

You shouldn't have to have professional MMA experience to talk about and criticize mma fighters. That is like saying that I have to run for president to criticize Donald Trump.

Watching him fight at this point is like watching a snuff porn it's not something I enjoy I want it to stop and sometimes I want his opponent to end it quickly as to not prolonge his suffering.

But for real he is shot to shit

 

[pick999]

Get em shogun

 

[NatoHoro]

Shogun is right.

 

[FootstompShonie]

Reminds me of Matt Serra roasting Marc Laimon when he said "You're like a swimming coach who has never been in the water."

 

[The Best JG]

Im confident you dont know what "cliffs" implies

 

[Sparkie]

Shogun is right.

[Me&MrJones]

He ducked Evans, if you can't handle the truth watch some porn!

 

[Sid Arthur]

Someone doesn't take criticism well...

You've watched a snuff film?

 

[SlicerDM]

Shogun's the man.

 

[kammfreudenstei]

Internet trolls are like monsters in your head. Unstoppable If you try to fight them, but inconsequential if not acknowledged

I have seen a few videos of mexican drug cartells or whatever decapitating people if that counts and I have a harder time to decide whether that or the Shogun - OSP fight is harder to watch

 

[cumafish]

He's mostly talking about @rothnroll.

 

[Al Overrated]

Oh snap! All the virgins on sherdog will be even more pissed off now

 

[DatSamboKid]

Couldn't have said it better.

 

[sirmorbach]

If it was any other fighter, I would disagree. I would say that you don't have to be a professional to criticise a fighter.

But it's Shogun we're talking about it, so f*ck it. I agree 100%. I'm biased.
