He was on a bad losing streak . Last fight was against Evan Tanner at ufc 50 .. then he hard time coming back to ufc . Great fight with ninja and couple of ko in pride and strike force
Correct me if I’m wrong but Bj penn vs Hughes 2 was a late replacement over gsp . Bj took that fight on short notice and did not look cardio prepared .
If you can’t beat your close competitor , just buy them out.. -> ufc philosophy
ufc needed a major competitor, I used to love the debate about which one is better, or the Marquis matchups..
For his style of fighting and the wars he is been into, it can be taken into consideration. I don't blame mainly his age, but keep in mind that his first fight in K1 was in 05.. Time Flies
Shogun , always had issue with muay thai fighter . Ever the Snake Diabate gave him some trouble. Look at his fight with Vera .. Prime or not, he will always struggle with fighter that have huge reach advantage. I still Seen Jones by Stoppage.
Hard to call.. shogun had amazing td / bjj + crazy stomps and unlimited cardio..
Rumble has crazy power and wresting credential..
Shogun always had trouble with kickboxer/muay thai fighter with longer reach.. diabate gave him some trouble and shogun took him to the ground.. bones completely...
