@@H.K.5 One look at the Shogun that went in against Jones and you knew he wasn't the same even before the fight. I think his knees were so shot at that point no surgeries could save them. They held out just long enough for him to beat Machida. If the same Shogun that fought Liddell and Machida went in against Jones it would not have been so one sided of a fight. Don't get me wrong, Jones still would have won, he's the LHW GOAT and a freak, but Shogun would have at least given him a decent fight unlike the beat down we saw.

Shogun in 2005 for Pride was one of the best ever years for any fighter in MMA, knocked out Arona, Overeem and beat Lil Nog for the Pride Middleweight Grand Prix, and destroyed a Prime Rampage Jackson that same year. Without injuries he would have been top 3 MW/LHW of all time

Proud Shogun fan checking in. I know what I see: he's not nearly the same fighter he was 10-15 years ago (which goes without saying). Having said that, he's 5-1-1 in the past 5 years. A lot of that is matchmaking, sure, but his heart has certainly played a role. Every one of those fights was very close, aside from the L to Smith.

Shogun in his prime was an absolute gift. That Grand Prix run in 05 was the kind of run they write for movies. He’s had a good stint in the UFC as a whole becoming their LHW champ and all but the older fans know that the UFC got Shogun as he was beginning to fade. Would have loved to have seen Shogun and Jones go at it in their respective primes. Would’ve been a much better, back and forth fight than what we got I think.
