Mauricio ”Shogun” Rua är hungrig på att få komma tillbaks till oktagonen efter att ha förlorat sitt bälte mot Jon ”Bones” Jones på UFC 128. Målet är att få återvända för match kring augusti, enligt managern Eduardo Alonso.
We are already talking to the UFC about his next fight. They are really very supportive of us and after the bout, Dana came into the locker room to show support and said he felt rhythm was important for Shogun, so whenever I was ready, I should call him cause they wanted him to fight soon again. I agree with him, and we hope to have Shogun back around August. A lot of people sent me messages asking if Shogun got hurt, but thankfully Mauricio didn’t get hurt at all. After the fight, I took him to the hospital for exams and all was fine. He just had some swelling around his eyes and nothing else. He is training lightly again already.
Om det nu skulle bli i augusti, så bör man lägga pengarna på att det är UFC i Rio den 27:e augusti som ”Shogun” kommer köra på. Men hur det än blir så undrar man ju självklart vad vi har för passande motståndare. Något förslag?
