Shogun is not looking to good these days. :-\

I hope he can get in shape in time for Chuck.

must have some of the best kicks and head stomps i have ever seen....too bad he can't use most of his arsenal in the ufc, seems like every victory he had in pride would have been a dq in the ufc :(

I like Pride rules better than the UFC rules.

He's not looking too good. I think it's obvious he was juicing.

if he gets knocked out by chuck he's done

who wanna see shogun after that? not even the die hard pride fans should be interested anymore

too bad, because if he wouldve got off the juice, took his time to adjust and prepare, getting in shape and start off in the ufc fighting an easier opponent he should've been able to get into things and be a factor
he's young and he's got the talent and the skills. but now i dont know, things are moving very fast...

I don't think if he losing to Chuck he's done. He's only 26. ::)

He still has a lot of fights in him.

His last fight with Forest was one of the best fights of 2007.

i dont know, how many losses in a row can you have in the ufc? in the packed 205 division. ok so say he get's two losses and thats ok, whatabout 3? whatabout 4? surely 3 losses in a row will be troublesome for him (or anyone)
its not about him being young, is about you keep losing people doesnt want to see a loser.

You don't just have to win, you have to win and be interesting to watch. Look at Arlovski, he beat the piss out of Werdum, but since it was boring he landed in Danas dog house. I think if Shogun loses to Chuck he is in trouble, cuz not too many people really know anything about him over here.

Well he only has two more fights left on his contract with the UFC. If he loses those two, I'm sure he will sign with M1. With M1 he will get back on the juice and start kicking ass again. ;)

people in the us dont give a shit about shogun. especially in that division where there's so many others they rather see - houston alexander, even though he lost people still remember how he banged before that, wanderlei, chuck, bonnar, forrest, rashad, henderson, rampage, jardine, machida, thiago silva, tito, sokodjou and of course bisping and matt hamill  ;)

haha that's a crazy division. im starting to think a one night 205 tournament wouldnt be a bad idea  :D

matt hamill and bisping both need to drop to 185, they would get dominated by every guy mentioned b4 that imo
