UFC 161 Mauricio Shogun Rua Pre Fight Interview

At UFC 161 we are going to see a rematch of a Pride FC classic, Shogun Rua will square off against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. The first fight, which took place at Pride Critial Countdown 2005, was a three round slugfest-which saw Shogun walk away victorious by decision.

A lot has changed since then, both men have joined the UFC and had hit and miss careers. Since coming to the UFC, Shogun’s UFC record is 5-5-quite surprising when you consider that he was once the consensus number one LHW and the UFC champion. Nogueira is 4-2 in the UFC, most recently beating Rashad Evans at UFC 156.

I’m really pumped for this fight, as it includes my favorite fighter from the Pride era-Shogun Rua! Check out this UFC 161 pre fight interview and stay tuned to Lowkick!
