Volkan KOs him in the first.
Good analysisToughest fight for Shogun on his current streak, but going for the title he's gonna have to take a tough fight eventually. Its not like he can keep fighting 11-15 ranked guys. Out of all the fighters ranked ahead of Shogun, Gus, Glover, Manuwa, Latifi, OSP and Volkan himself, this is among the most favorable match ups. Its either Manuwa or Volkan that is the easiest fight of all of them. And Volkan has shown to be more vulnerable on the ground than any of those guys.
Shogun has to keep his hands up, keep the chin tucked and avoid the power shots. He's gotta wear Volkan down and most important mix up the striking with grappling. Volkan does not have a strong gas and it is a 5 round fight. I think Shogun can take this. I feel Volkan has the power and accuracy to end this fight early, as does Shogun, I like Volkan early in two rounds, but as the fight goes on I favor Rua
Could turn out like the Vera fight.
LmaoShogun fans are only rivaled by Fedor fans when it comes to not being able to let go.
People voting on this fight like it was 10 years ago. It's 2018 guys. Come on now.
He is not as good as everyone thought, not this Tyson of LHW, but he is a stylistic nightmare for many fighters.......fighters such as Shogun. Shogun is getting at the point, after racking up a few wins, where he can not find any gimme wins and sub par fighters like Villante and Beastin' 25/8.I still think Volkann is not that good.
I give Shogun a slight chance here and a huge chance if he winds up on top somehow
