Your opinion on Chael beating Shogun

One of the most shocking results I can remember. I still cant quite comprehend how that happened/
 
Would you call it upset or Chael is a stylistic nightmare for Shogun?

One of the biggest upsets ever. I don't see it being any less of one as Forrest beating Shogun.

I
 
Shogun has not looked good since 2005 so who would have been shocked by that?
 
I was surprised by the stoppage but not by Chael winning. Chael was just about a year removed from successfully imposing his will againat Anderson Silva and Shogun was already starting to show signs that he wasn't the same man who won UFC gold a few years earlier. Plus Shogun took a lot of damage againat both Jones and Henderson.
 
I was shocked he submitted him. Not going to lie. Sonnen was known as being weak in the submission game and Rua had shown solid BJJ in the past. I would say it was a fairly large upset, especially because of how it went down, as others have said.

Awwwwwwww. .......... ....... Debatable but... .... ........ UPSET.
SHOGUN in his prime crushes, steroids or not for Chael, but even still. I always felt Chael is to small for 205. Really like him cuz he got balls n some skills, but with Shogun being old n timing and knees and all, Chael got lucky to have that win on his resume. But hopefully not too much contradiction, Chael has impressive wins, just at 185. not 205
 
I think Shogun wins that fight more than he loses it but Chael was TRT as fuck and shit happens. (Obviously still pissed that Chael beat my boy).
 
It was a bit of an upset in that Chael pretty much never used BJJ up until that point.
