Yeah I hear ya im not even a huge fan of his, just saying that of all the weight classes, the LHW division is anybodys division right now, too many elite, evenly matched competitors. And when you have a situation like that and have another quality fighter just chillen on the sidelines, it just kills me!!!

who you telling anomaly….He is one of my favorites! But the acl HAS TO heal properly and he can not be rushed. He is a young fighter with all the talent in the world. No need to rush him along, but I willo be thrilled once he is healthy and kicking the crap out of top UFC lHW’s!

I’m a HUGE Shogun fan and have wanted to see him get his revenge on Coleman for a while… my only concern would be the size difference. I mean Coleman is a HW that was trying to beef up even more for a match w/ Brock Lesnar b4 he got hurt. Will he even make 205? OR will he just show up overweight knowing Shogun wants revenge so bad that he’ll just accept the match??? LIke Filho did against Sonnen. I know Sonnen won anyways, and Shogun should to… but Coleman is a wrestler, and his only chance is taking shogun down and ground n pound, The extra weight would help…
WAR SHOGUN!!

Am I the only one frustrated with the rate Shogun is at getting into some real action in the octogon? Not that it’s his fault or anything, but man, he is an awesome add to LHW mix, get him the hell in there already!! With no injury’s!!

Coleman hasn’t evolved much over the years, that’s the amazing part, and now he’s 100% over the hill. Shogun by KO or sub at the very least.

What the hell kind of opponent is Mark Coleman? If Rua can’t even beat Coleman, he should take a little break from the UFC and get his sh_t back together.

I am a huge fan of Shogun and actually met him, but Im worried about his career. Ive heard a lot of talk about Chute Box being on roids, it’s not something that has been proved but here are the facts. There is no drug testing in Japan. Many Pride fighters who have come over dont look nearly as pumped and dont have the same intensity coming into the octagon as they did in Pride. Wandy, Cro Cop are a few examples. The bodies dont look as muscley. Shogun himself looked in horrible shape against Forrest. Maybe a lot of that was fighting with a torn acl(how stupid is that) and with being married he did not train properly. I hope it is that. This guy was a cardio machine in Pride. I hope he gets that type of fitness again. Now you take into account major knee surgery, then messing it up again, and having another knee surgery what kind of shogun will we see going forward. This man was very classy to me when I met him, and he is an amazing fighter, I hope we see an even better shogun.
