Pride GP champion, Maurício "Shogun" Rua needed two victories in the UFC to get the chance for the belt, now with Lyoto Machida. With new apartment in Curitiba, Shogun opened the doors of his house to TATAME and talked about the duel, which is scheduled for October 24th (UFC 104) in Los Angeles, California.


"He comes from the Karate school and I come from the Muay Thai school, but he’s an athlete who gives a lot of knee blows, plenty Muay Thai blows also, which he improved well. I think the big difference is that he likes to fight in counter punching, and I’m the opposite, I like to go inside", analyzed Shogun, who also commented Lyoto’s game and the possibility of finishing the fight with the Jiu-Jitsu.


"He’s a very complete man, good standing, good on the ground, good in Wrestilng... Actually, people say that if I take the fight to the ground I’ll win, but it isn’t like that. He’s a very good on the ground, I’ve trained with him, and sometimes that isn’t the solution. Staying on top in the fight may be an advantage, but I have to see it right so that I don’t make the wrong strategy", said Maurício, revealing his new addiction: play UFC Undisputed 2009. "I’ve already knocked out some guys, I think almost all... I only play with me, right? (laughs)”.
