He was NOT recovering from knee surgery before the 1st and 2nd fight with Machida. He had knee issues before the fight with Griffin. He still fought and then afterwards had knee surgery. He re-injured himself a few months later and had another knee surgery. His final knee surgery was after the second Machida fight.

Shogun ALWAYS looks a bit 'flabby'. What are you trying to say? He was a bit 'flabby' for both fights with Machida and still performed really well.

So, 3 major knee surgeries had minimal affect on Shogun? That's good to know :rolleyes:

im tired about hearing how good shogun is, the nikka is done at 205. he needs to grow some balls and lose some weight and go to 185 and his azz handed to him by anderson

I think he'll retire before he cuts to 185. I think all the injuries have finally caught up to him

I actually thought Shogun looked in better shape against Gus than he did against Vera/Hendo. He was landing quite a bit on Gus (who still has some suspect striking defense) and he even got a TD.

Not sure where he goes from here though. I'd love to see him have a rematch with Lil Nog if he loses.

I saw this fight will be at 205. Not 185 pounds.

I know Wandy has one more Axe Murder left in him. I hope he leaves Stann Manny'd.

Easy KO for Stann.

Anyone else hyped for Sotiropolous Vs.Pearson should be an entertaining fight. I think Sot will eventually get it to the ground and get the submission. I question Pearson's fight IQ.

Pearson is going to be looking for the kO all night because he doesn't like him. He may get sloppy. I hope he ko's GSOT.
