'Shogun' reflects on his win over Corey Anderson at UFC 198 and says it's still a privilege to be competing on the mainstage in MMA's premier promotion.
It's been a long road for Mauricio Shogun Rua. With multiple world to his name, including the PRIDE Middleweight Grand Prix and the UFC light heavyweight championship, the fan favorite could retire tomorrow as one of the most accomplished veterans of the sport.
But that is not currently an option for Rua, who edged out Corey Anderson on the main card of UFC 198 in his hometown of Curitiba, Brazil last Saturday.
