Gus handled Shogun pretty easily in that fight.
Reality and FACTS state other wise
The gifs, punch stats etc
This is why Shogun haters ARE THE WORST

Lets see
It was a very good performance for Shogun

That wasn't a knockdown. Shogun caught his leg kick, punched him and then took him down off it. That's why it was scored a takedown and not a knockdown, even though Gus was only on one leg so it didn't really tell us anything about his takedown defense at the time.

On topic, TS, I agree that nobody gives Shogun much credit these days. They were saying that Shogun looked bad in that fight with Gus but he looked good no doubt. He was reinvigorated and motivated to get his belt back. Not the slow, lethargic looking Shogun coming off injury that fought Jones.
Neither Sonnen or OSP are "sub par"
Sonnen was 29-14 against very good competition.
Shogun is 22-10. Do you see him him going 7-4 if he makes it 11 more fights?
And don't compare Shogun to Ali. Jeezus.
Cannot believe the chin on Gus in that second gif
Literally ran right into a clean power overhand right from shogun right on the chin and acted as if nothing happened
I thought it was a knock down…..didnt know they ruled that a takedown, but I guess that makes sense.
Well….you know how it is, Shogun gets a KO win and he's got some credibility back.
The level of competition is KEY
Sonnen's biggest win ever is Shogun. Sonnen hasnt beaten any one else really. Even Shogun's lower tier wins over Te Huna and Vera smoke Sonnen's "best wins"
Also, OSP absolutely is subpar. He was OUT CLASSED by Mousasi. Just recently OSP was OUT CLASSED by Bader. The same Bader who Machida beat and Shogun destroyed Machida. This is just to illustrate the point that Shogun was always at a much higher level than OSP, until injuries slowed Shogun down

We know youre a Shogun hater, BUT the fact REMAINS Shogun is one of the greatest fighters of all time...hell yes, i can and will compare him to Ali....you especially missed the context of what I said too...no suprise you Shogun haters are not bright... I was simply saying, boxing fans dont shit on Ali for his terrible losses at the end of his career, yet for some reason "ufc fans" want to shit on Shogun for his losses at the end of his career.. its actually an even more relevant example considering HOW accomplished Shogun is and the fact haters want to pretend that losses defined his career
I saw it too my brother. I knew something was wrong. Shogun was walking out to go fight OSP with no expression or anything what so ever. That was that same injuried zombified Shogun who Forrest and Jones beatShogun was a different man. You don't see it looking at his "shape". You see it on his face. Before he even walked to the cage to face OSP you could see he had already lost.
He was nearly doubled up on Sig strikes (41 to 72), total strikes was a blow out (51 to 128), taken down 6 times to 1, and he spent most of the fight back pedaling and covering up while eating shots. He was out classed. Revisionist gonna revision. This is not 2005-06 and Shogun will never be that good again.
