Shogun Rua says he's "very happy" to re-unite with Rafael Cordeiro at Kings MMA
Posted on July 21, 2011, 04:55 PM by Anton GurevichFormer UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua discussed the reunion with his Chute Boxe coach Rafael Cordeiro and the new training camp at Kings MMA. Shogun will rematch Forrest Griffin at next month's UFC 134.
The previous encounter between two former UFC 205 Champions took place almost four years ago, at UFC 76: Knockout, ending via a third round Rear Naked Choke submission victory in favor of Forrest Griffin. The fight marked Rua's UFC debut, and was his first loss (not counting the TKO against Mark Coleman) after four years of domination in PRIDE.

I hope one day to see him take down Jones.
best shape i have seen shogun in in a long time....
Shogun's the coolest. I like when he dodges a punch or a kick and he waves his hand to the side like he just performed a magic trick.
yeah i agree he looks in better shape now then he was for the jones fight he was all pugy for that fight
but man did he take a beating in that fight holy shit they shudda stopped it earlier shogun is a tough mother****er
much agreed, shogun is a frigging animal
Would like to see that too. Something out of the contecst... funny how almost everyone wanted Rampage to ko JJ and after the tweets everyone wants the opposite, or maybe there are just 2 different groups of people posting cooments and I am an instigator???
He really does look like a MW more than LHW
Damn, Shogun's looking in better shape already. He doesn't look as chubby..
He goes up and down in the Ufc, sometimes he is a beast, sometimes looks unmotivated and with no cardio. This time arround I think he will come out with a devastating performance, seems very relaxed and in great shape, it won't be an easy night for Forrest.
Agree with posts above, he looks more muscular than I have ever seen him look. I was surprised to hear that he had no 'MMA' coach, but instead had Muay Thai coaches, Wrestling coaches, Jiu-Jitsu coaches. It seems that an overall MMA-game coach is very necessary at the highest level and may have contributed to his problems in the Jon Jones fight. Hopefully Cordiero can help him achieve the top level again.
All Brazillian fighters seem to be "very haappy"
Brazilian women...whats not to be happy about
GO SHOGUN ! always my favourite and always looks to finish fights
WAR Shogun, kill that arrogant prick Jon Jones!
