oh yea doc j!!! that is what im talking about!!!whoo hoo the 205 lb is going to be so thick i cant wait!! Shogun is a great fighter and i cant wait till he finally fights, fedrigo needs to hurry and get something on the table so that we can all be entertained!!!!! But thanks doc for getting that interview, i ve been really waiting to see that one
Thanks Doc for getting that on here, much appreciated. I am also excited about Shogun fighting in the UFC, I am curious as to what Wand will decide… we will all know in a month or so I suppose…
first of all shogun damn ****
the only thing i have a problem with is him saying henderson wont beat ramapage i dont think that rampage will win i like rampage but hendo is a beast and i rather see hendo vs shogun than shogun rampage 2
Nice Guy!
I’ll be in his corner for every fight…………..but one…LOL!
awesome. i didn’t think id see that for a while. there is no other fighter at 205 that i would like to see hold consecutive titles in ufc besides shogun (actually, i agree with dennis, i think id rather see chuck take it back). i hope shogun works on his english (as well as the guy who did the subtitles in that vid) before coming to the ufc. i cant wait to see this guy debut, get booed,and put on one of the greatest fights the ufc has ever seen! am i being too optimistic here?
shogun is good but ive converted to HENDOISM
@Rich
Hendoism is a cult, you need to come back from the dark side Richard… lol..
Shogun will kill Rampage, and I am sorry for all you naysayers, but Henderson while really a beast, will lose to Shogun simply because Shogun is a more accurate striker, and is younger, stronger, and more comfortable fighting at 205.. Hendo did an amazing thing winning two titles, going for three is really pushing it but I can’t blame him for trying..

HENDOISM remember i said it first all im saying is i would rather see shogun vs hendo than shogun rampage two and dont forget hendo hung in there with minatauro so i think he can handle people naturally bigger than him
Yeah but not a guy like Rampage or Shogun… they are really strong.. and Rampage is gonna pick him up and beat him down, the man just got a taste of green real cash, around half a million dollars.. sooo I think he is training for that dough like never before..
Oh, and no offense but
hendoism
SHOGUN
WAND
RAMPAGE
ICEMAN
lol
Royce vs Saku today ladies.. not like anyone cares but me LOL, i been anticipating this fight almost as much as chuck rampage..
bvrasp u ordering it or gonna catch it on the internet
hey B.V. did you get to see the royce vs. saku fight? i guess royce but the recap that i read sounded like saku should have got the nod. just wondering if you had an opinion on it.
heh yea i saw it man, these guys cant have a good fight in 3, 5 min rounds. Royce neutralized Sakus striking by clinching and pulling guard which kind of made it a boring fight.. There were some times of crazy action, like when Saku reverted to chutebox style with the thai clinch and stared throwing the flying knees heheh that was awesome man..
Royce went out and executed his gameplan perfectly, he tied up Saku and made it a boring fight.. sigh.. oh well, when you watch a Royce gracie fight, you should expect stuff like that. I have no problem with grappling, but he wasnt even CLOSE to finishing him with a submission.. Just holding..
i would have liked to see these guys fight for 90min again, by the time the fight was over they were just getting warmed up.. pretty disappointing fight..
its about time that the best come to the ufc were they belong. Who in their right mind would choose pride fc now that ufc is so huge. Im still a Liddell fan and i think that hes one fight away from a title shot. However Wanderlei will be tough. We all no that Liddell is human now.
i got to see the royce vs. saku fight and it was for sure a royce fight. but i think they let them lay on the ground too long. also saku kinda gave up at the end. did anyone else see the brock lesner debut? he looked really good with some heavy g’n'p i kinda wish the fight lasted a bit longer and maybe have a bit more stand up just to get a better idea of were lesner is at in his mma training but other wise it was a pretty impressive mma debut.
