Ex  Wanderlei Silva teammate at Chute Boxe, Mauricio Shogun Rua liked what he saw in the UFC 84. The quick knockout against Keith Jardine on last Saturday, raised the morale of the Brazilian at the Ultimate, not surprising Shogun. "It was a very good fight and Wanderlei showed who he really is", said one of Universidade da Luta leaders, which also was challenged in the octagon in Las Vegas . After knock Kazuhiro Nakamura out, Thierry Sokoudjou, who already defeated the Brazilians Ricardo Arona and Rogerio Minotouro, before being submitted by Lyoto Machida, said Shogun is the new Brazilian in his sights. "I didn’t see that, but people told me. I fight anyone, I don’t choose my opponents. It would be a hard fight, he is very good at Muay Thai and Judo, but I would fight at his mistakes, as at Jiu-Jitsu", examined Shogun, who is training to return to the octagon after the knee injury. "I am back to train Boxing and now I will back with the rest of my training in phases. I hope to fight in October, November, I will see this better with my doctors", told Shogun.
