Anyway, I’m with everyone whose actually seen Shogun fight before this bout. The guy is a phenom. He utterly destroyed Rampage and made it look like a sparring session. Just think about that for a second. I’ve seen him destroy a guy Crocop, a big HW, couldn’t KO despite hitting him with everything he had. I think it’s bloody obvious what happened: he showed up in lousy condition. Probably had a very swollen head coming in, something Griffin has no issues with. I don’t buy Shogun’s knee injury claim, there are many ways to train cardio besides running. All that said, it’s remarkable how utterly ineffective Shogun looked even in the 1st round when conditioning had not yet become a factor. Whatever the reason, that wasn’t Shogun in there. A real head scratcher, we’ll probably never know the full story. All that said, full credit must go to Forrest. He heard all the stories and hype about Shogun and didn’t even blink. Amazing set of stones on him, and he always comes PREPARED. Shogun could learn much from him.

I can’t believe you people who actually think these fights are fixed or that they win cause they’re on steroids. What drugs are YOU guys on?? Steroid use among non-HWs is virtually unheard of. Non HW fighters can’t afford to do steroids because they have to make weight.

Shogun didn’t have a terrible night, he just didn’t have a fixed fight or have any steroid in him because UFC actually does do drug testing.

Tarik,
So you’re saying that this fight was a hoax and was staged? Are you a Rua fanboy? He’s an excellent fighter but surely he had a bad night. One man’s bad night is another man’s good one, FG capitalized on it and that’s what a fight is all about you moron.

Shogun got knocked out because Shogun is a fucking pussy… Nuff said
——————————————-
Quick question… have you ever even HEARD of Shogun before he fought in the UFC? Because if you did you wouldn’t be calling him a pussy. Shogun is a warrior, just like Griffin. There’s no need to hate on either fighter/org. (Also that wasn’t a knock out dumbass).
Shogun was definitely not on his A-game that night, but I don’t take anything from Griffin, he won that decisively.

I don’t care if shogun is better every other time, you fight forrest griffin, and you better bring your A game. If you don’t he will just keep coming at you and try to kill you. Forrest likes to fight, infact he loves to fight, and will probably hold a title in the light heavyweight division. Probably in a year or two, after he trains even more with couture but still he is quality. I suspect that if shogun is as good as everyone says, he will be back for more forrest too. We will just have to see.

Forrest is a fighter in progress every fight he has he is looking better. He has a great attitude and he better be Rampage!

look at shogun when he fought rampage in pride he is alot more cut and built, compared to when he fought forrest in the ufc maybe he just underestimated forrest and didnt train his cardio right or maybe it’s because in japan they dont test you for STEROIDS
