Snowman_McK posted:It's a testament to how good Shogun used to be that he's been shedding positive attributes as a fighter since 2006 and he only just lost enough to start losing to journeymen. Shogun got choked out by Forrest Griffin more than a decade ago

He was a champion, but he also got knocked out by Keith Jardine and Jeremy Horn, so I dunno, man less jokingly: Shogun's great and I will always love him, but his last genuinely good win was seven or eight years ago depending on if you count Forrest II and since then he's gotten choked out by Chael Sonnen, almost knocked out by both a going-on-40 Rogerio and the platonic ideal of the journeyman in Gian Villante, and given a pretty bullshit decision against Beastin' 358/2 Days, so I feel like it's less accurate to say he's only just now at the journeyman level as opposed to "205 is such a garbage fire that 2018 Shogun was a fight away from a title shot based on his victory over a dude who couldn't beat Sam Alvey"

Smith looked really good in the fight even though he's unranked and will never fight for the title in NY. It's a shame Gus is out of the fight at 227 because that could've been a fun fight. Also how the hell did smith get to 185lbs? He looked skinny at 205lbs and the dude is 6'4".

CarlCX posted:He was a champion, but he also got knocked out by Keith Jardine and Jeremy Horn, so I dunno, man Rampage and Chuck both also nearly got knocked out by Jardine, and Horn legit subbed Liddell. Shogun lost his attributes in stages. First it was his dynamic top game, then his takedowns, then his footwork and finally his chin. Up until his chin went, he could still knock people out with no apparent effort because he could shrug off their efforts and counter. Now, he can't wear a punch and his defence was never great.

That was the first Shogun fight I saw, which made his fanatical, obnoxious fans much more confusing.

The only things I can remember about Shoguns career after Jones killed him is fighting Hendo and losing to Chael.

I was that rear end in a top hat re: Crocop, and being in a room with a bunch of my friends who'd never heard of him until I kept saying, "THIS DUDE KICKS PEOPLE'S SKULLS OFF," up until they watched him get his own skull kicked off by Gabriel Gonzaga was... ...distressing.

cisneros posted:I remember his war against Brandon Vera. That was the rubicon moment for Shogun's career. A thrilling back and forth battle with Brandon Vera. It's a really good fight and very much the highlight of Brandon Vera's weird career, but Shogun really should have walked through him. Nothing But Hate posted:Pretty sure Chuck did get knocked out by Jardine He got dropped and badly outstruck, but managed to make it to the final bell, which is quite an achievment for latter day Chuck.

It's more distressing that Gonzaga literally never did another noteworthy thing. It's not like Crocop got loving destroyed by some world beater.

it's weird how poirier went from an exciting featherweight prospect, to a weird loser who told his opponent they were taking away his destiny when he was getting his rear end kicked, to a genuine elite level fighter at lightweight.

That fight really cemented my love of Couture. Old man coming back from retirement, moving up a weight class, beating Sylvia for the belt, then defending it against Gonzaga. Oh and Gonzaga tried to kick Randy's skull off, but succeeded only in breaking Randy's arm.  Impressive as hell that Randy still finished Gonzaga in that fight.
