SAO PAULO — Mauricio "Shogun" Rua already has broken a promise he made to his wife more than one decade ago. But he claims he’ll fulfill a new one.
The former UFC and PRIDE light heavyweight champion told MMA Fighting he’s promised his wife he won’t enter the Octagon again more than twice.
“My wife and my mom are rough,” Rua told MMA Fighting with a smile. “I have two fights left. It’s true now.”
Rua returns to action in the co-main event of Saturday night’s UFC Sao Paulo event against short-notice replacement Paul Craig.
