After the victory over Mark Coleman, Sérgio Cunha called Mauricio "Shogun" and offered his help. Used to work with the fighter, the former Chute Boxe coach proposed an intensive training with the Pride champion, and the result come out in short time. Against the former UFC champion Chuck Liddell, Shogun came well and showed why he was pointed as the best light heavyweight in 2007.

 

"I thought it was a very good fight, the result was phenomenal", celebrates Cunha, remembering that this was the first victory of a Brazilian over Liddell, after the American beat five Brazilians (Wanderlei Silva, Renato Babalu, Vitor Belfort, Murilo Bustamante and José Pelé Landi). "Liddell won some of the best fighters in the world and Shogun was superior because he worked hard and took everything seriously. Maurício was professional, dedicated himself a lot ", said, gaining the victory as a birthday present, celebrated on April 20th, two days after the fight.

 

"This was a big present (laughs)", jokes. After two performances below expectations in the UFC, the coach believes that Shogun finally "debuted" in the American octagon. "The American press and fans were left with a bad impression, that he wouldn’t be able to be the fighter he were in the beginning of his career, when he won the GP (Pride), especially after the injuries, but, after recovering from all this, he looked for the best team and worked very seriously, with the right people, and restarted his career", praises Cunha.
