Shogun vs. Jimi Manuwa?

[Gabe]

What do you think of this one? The two were originally scheduled to meet a year and a half ago but Manuwa got injured and Shogun became the victim of a skateboard crisis against OSP. Both guys are ranked in the top 10 but will likely never get close to a title. Who would you pick?

 

[CereserBr]

yes, good fight, id pick shogun cuz he has that grappling edge, but on the feet is pretty even

 

[yeguiza]

manuwa

After what i saw last night, i would select Manuwa to beat him pretty solidly.

I'll go with Manuwa because Voodoo.

Maybe, not many other non-rematch options for Shogun.

Manuwa chews him up, IMO. Much better striker than OSP, but if Shogun is smart he'd ground him and use his BJJ.

Jimi would most likely KO Shogun nowadays

Makes sense, I like it.

I'm not banking on Shogun making a comeback because of his last couple fights. As a fan I'd prefer he continue getting fringe top 10 guys and old legends, I doubt he's gonna be in the game much longer anyway.

Shogun hasin't been looking so good his last few performances. Maybe someone a peg or two below Manuwa would be better.

I say screw it, we all admit Shogun and Vitor are done at a high level (sure he snuck one past Corey Anderson but he's sloppy, slow and has like 3 go-to moves he repeats over and over) and match them up at 205.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

About the right level for both guys right now sadly.

Manuwa by being English.
