#UFC #UFC283
Pô ele é uma Lenda. Dia triste. Mais chega o dia de todos. O tempo passa. Obrigado pela inspiração que deu para o esporte Mauricio Shogun Rua. 😔✊🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
This old shit should not be fighting
A shame we never got a trilogy with Machida and him
Mad respect for an amazing fighter,lets hope for a win next weekend
Where did Elon go?
He was devastating in Pride, fought everyone regardless and won big. Also came back from serious injuries and became champ again in the UFC. Good luck for your future Shogun
This man has been fighting since he was 16 years old. I love him, but it’s time to retire.
Ones He said I trane, I eate, I sleepe, i repety, absolutely legend.
Something don't look right about his face?
Typical Brazilian legend who can’t speak English at all despite fighting in UFC for years 😂
Shogun looks like Jonny May the England rugby union player
A true legend retires one of the great !!!!!!
english??
The ufc tried to resign machida and make the trilogy for there trilogy and both of there last fights to bad it didn't get put togeather.
Still believe Shogun has one more title run left in him. Glover has already proved that age is just a number. Shogun has elite muay thai, a legendary chin, and an unfathomable level of mental toughness and grit. Would be absolutely unreal to see him fight Glover for the title in the twilight of both of their careers.
I hope his health stay with him for many years after this
He was still fighting??
UKRAIN IS NOT UKRAINA
Real warrior
He shouldn't fight anymore, he already has CTE and some obvious other issues going on. He's going to get hurt.
What a guy. Loved his fights. Crazy he was a Pride Champion as well as UFC champ and still going.
Shogun legend 🙏
"I trainy. I eaty. And I sleepy."
If you have a Win on your record with a Soccer Kick KO, you are a legend.
My favorite fighter in MMA and all of combat sports. He's the one that really got me into the sport of MMA. One of the hardest hitters and could take punishment till the very end. His list of injuries was the only real thing hindering his career. Rua was one of those fighters who did everything well, striking, grappling, submissions, but his training was just never 100% because of injuries. But the fact that they kept throwing him in there with killers just shows the level of experience that Rua had. If retirement is in the horizon for Rua, then I say it's well deserved, champ. You've had one hell of a career.
When Shogun retires tomorrow it will be the end of an era for Pride.
If Bones Entered The Scene 3-4Yrs Late I Believe Shogun Will Be The LHW Champ Before Bones Come.
Oh hi legend
jones broke him
Thank you legend. From the pride days to ufc.
I wrestled in college in the USA 🇺🇸 but I'm a huge Shogun fan! What a legend, warrior, and class act that he is. Let's go Shogun Rua! 🇧🇷 🥊🥋
Hope he wins by knockout
how time flies. I remember when he beat the unbeatable Machida!
Mad respect. An OG and a bad ass.
Man if only he fought as good in the UFC as he did in PRIDE.
