-Why is Shogun so cool with not getting a title-shot?!?-

http://www.fighters.com/08/06/mauricio-rua-reacts-to-having-not-received-a-title-shot-for-tko-of-brandon-vera

I thought Rua's reaction to not getting a crack at the belt was weird. Maybe there's something do Dana White saying Rua lacks the fire he used to have? Sadly it seems he's already peaked. Still a legend though.

It probably wasn't hard to accept...the more impressive victory got the shot. He knew that going in and he also thought he didn't perform very well. If he fought like that against Jones it would be the same outcome.

He also seems pretty laidback and respectful in general...even if he does have a beef he probably isn't going to whine in public.

Because Shogun is a True Warrior and he wouldn't want to get a shot against another proven fighter, especially one who has defeated him before, with a fight that was, in his eyes, anything less than stellar.


At least, that's how I see it...

I hate how the translations always get jumbled up. What Shogun said was"I will beat whomever they put in front of me.
If they want me to beat some else up first before I fight Hendo for the belt, then so be it. You set em up, and I'll try my best to smash them." WOW! That sounds like a guy who is ready to fight anyone. 8) War Shoun!

He had already found out before the post fight presser.



But even then, he didn't say much. Dana said the most impressive, Lyoto took no damage and finished two rounds quicker. Not hard to understand his fight looked better.

shoguns humble and is friendly with machida. shogun knows machida performed better sat and wasnt upset by the dec as it was said before hand whoever was more impressive would get the shot. shogun even said post fight interview he was not happy with his performance so why would he be upset machida got the nod instead. By now its no secret that shoguns cardio needs serious help and it stems from him not training in a real camp. when his cardio was good (machida,forrest) shogun trained at a real camp and was pushed. Facing jones he knows this is something he needs to improve on as well, i hope even in this win something finally clicked in his head he needs to move FT to kings instead of staying in brazil.

He wasn't happy with his performance, simple as that. :geek:

He was very happy with the fight. It went the way he planned and he KOed a guy on his feet. He just didn't like all the uneducated questions about his cardio.

As a matter of fact in the ring with Joe after the fight he said, " I'm glad I could win such an amazing fight."

He figures, he has a better chance taking the belt from Machida than either Hendo or Jones.

Oh, hell. Here we go with the rainbow crap.

Precisely.

This is what really bothers me about Shogun. This whole "when he trains, when he's in shape, when he's..." starts to sound a lot like the whole BJ issue. SCREW THAT! YOU'RE A "TOP-LEVEL" ATHLETE. ACT LIKE IT!!! OR, GO HOME!!!
