MMA Pride FC video of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua Vs Cyrille Diabate at PRIDE – Final Conflict Absolute. |

Beat him down like he owed him money.
je sais que diabatté a été critiqué pour ce combat en france,moi,je lui tire mon chapeau rien que pour le fait d’avoir mis la pression a shogun en stand up,il a bien résisté face a un combattant complet et quasi imbattable a cette époque…
damn man! he was killing cocroachs there! \o/
I don’t like the foot stomps
brutal street KO
you wouldn’t know but shogun is a very nice guy in person

I don’t like the foot stomps
who cares what you like!
I love them, sign me up for some.
Pride days were the best
that was a good fight.
i was impressd by the snakes stand up and his ground defense.
kinda looked like an anderson silva out there.
corey hill?
stomping cockroaches lol
Damn that guy looked like a pray mantis!
and was equally squashed by shoguns foot like a pray mantis also heh
yeah pride fights are more funny to watch sometimes
wish they added knees to the head on the ground
very entertaining fight! thanks for posting
My alltime favourite fighter along with Wandy, I hope he fully recovers and gets healthy soon. A healthy Shogun is like no other fighter, I miss the devastating carnage he brings into the ring.
…yeah a little more polished Corey Hill. Is this guy still fighting I wonder???
im not a fan of of kicking a downed oponnent either.. special since you cant elbow in pride :S
this guy needs to cut weiht.. and fight at 185.. both of them actually
soccer kicks are for pussys
theres no skill in stomping some one but it is realistic to a real fight i guess
there is a skill in stomping and the chute box camp trains to refine this skill, and thats why they were the only ones to use the stomp and soccer kick effectively, well and i saw cro cop use it once, but various kicks are as much a skill as any punch.
shogun is in the UFC now no soccer kick no stomping. so thats so nice for him
Wow that was vicious. I’m not a huge fan of shogun but I think it would be very interesting if he could get back to his old fighting ways and cause some drama in the UFC.
I am a devoted UFC fan, and have been since day 1. I’ll have to admit that i do miss the Pride Days, and wish there was some other orginaization that could match what Pride “had” back in the day…Word!…. It seems that theres something missing in MMA and i do think its the brutality of the head stomps and knees to the head…
I wonder if Dream can make the same impact, probaby not, but we can hope theres something that offers what the UFC is doing for the MMA world right now.
shogun were the fuck are you man!!i need more fights like this.
LOL! He tapped out to Griffin on his comeback! Sho Gun is overrated…..
it’s not about “brutality”? PrideFC was the epitome of inclusiveness regarding the best framework for fighting! this ufc has some nerve calling itself MMA with their ridiculous restrictions and limitations?
ufc is NOT MMA!
Anyone can stomp on someone’s face and knock them out. There’s no skill in that. Shogun is gonna get rocked by liddel. His performance against coleman in the UFC was piss poor. If you can’t knock out a guy in his mid 40s with his arms at his waist in the first round well, you don’t belong in the UFC.
Don’t think its cardio lacking in Shogun’s arsenal, it looks like footstomps, and soccer kicks
“Anyone can stomp on someone’s face and knock them out. There’s no skill in that.”
Fucking retarded how is this different from any other strike. I could say durr anyone can punch someone in the face and knock them out no skill durr durr. Fact is its realistic and its part of a fight. You can train to get better at stomps and kicks this is what made shogun so brutal in pride no one else stomped on your face like he did. so obviously if there is varying levels face stomp/kicks skill demonstrated in pride it TAKES skill allow it in the UFC plz
stav you are an idiot! how is that any different from a punch! exactly what j says
No, footstomps an soccer kicks are whack.
Legs are 10x more porwerful then arms.
No matter how big the persons arms are.
You legs carry your weight, aswell as your arm weight.
Having someone jump in the air an come down with all there body weight in a leg is not skill.
It may be realistic.
But if i was street fighting, i wouldnt stomp someones face.
Imagine how bad that could affect someone.
Crushing there cheek bones, the bone above there eyebrow, there jaw.
there’s numerous ways a fighter could get hurt an be out of action for awhile.
Plus, i dont think Rua is all that good.
Every fight ive watched he takes a fair amount of an ass whooping, an then gets foot stomps in or soccer kicks an the fights done with.
Plus, his fight with coleman, he seemed to be fighting as if he was older then coleman.
buwahahaha.
I see liddel coming off his 3 fight lose streak.
i don´t like foot stumps….a lot of people forghet, that mma ist a “sport”!!! if someone want to see foot stumps, look at the youtube street fights!
…shogun will win without foot stumps!!!:-D
overrated…..
shogun won’t be doing that tomorrow night.
how is liddell gonna stop those takedowns?
thats the only reason this guy got to were he did, unskilled stomping. ufc rules are all about skills he dont got the skills to make it in the ufc
Rua isn’t even a has been. When you break down how he won his fights you realize he’s a never was.
The only time I ever rooted for Shogun was when he had the opportunity to avenge Wanderlei after he lost to Ricardo Arona. Where as he did have a highly regarded record/winning streak in Pride, and where I don’t agree that UFC rules promote *skill* any more then the other organizations, some fighters are willing to do anything to win, and some care about whether their opponent dies in the ring. Shogun isnt the classiest fighter, nor do I consider him top tier. This match shows me how many weaknesses Cyrille had, mainly being taken down defense. Chuck Liddell, he doesnt get taken down. So unless Shogun wants/is able to outstrike Liddell, which might be possible considering the age factor.. haha… he’s gonna be in a rough fight, especially if it makes it past round 2 and his tank empties. I’m rooting for Liddell.
Stomps and elbows should both be allowed to a downed opponent. true story
Lol the stomp! Key to unlock a good guard or soften up a tough opponent. The chute box guys miss that weapon badly
rua aint gonna do shit, but get sent home with his tail between his legs.
no face stomps + drug testing = rua fail
Idiots saying stomps and downed kicks are for pussies. Christ throwning a short glancing elbow from the guard has FAR less skill than working a stomp or a soccer kick on a moving target. Stomps and soccers finish fights. Its nothing like kicking someone as one would when they are unconsious in a street brawl, it’s about finishing a fight.
Stomps and soccers are legitamate and worthy MMA techniques. Fucking UFC dont even allow knees to the head of a grounded opponent. From the guy underneath either! A person is under side control and they can’t knee!! A fighter has a guy in his guard and he can’t kick to the face unless they stand up!! Pathetic. It’s all there to allow US wreslters to gain dominance. Take a person down and grind short elbows from the guard – modus operandi. The UFC rules need a serious overhaul.
man, i love soccer kicks and stomps
this is true mma
If someone could pass me those words I typed up there, I’d like to eat them…
Idiots, the more rules you add the more it becomes sporty which means winning has more to do with attributes like size, reach, speed and strength instead of skill.
