The MMA Analyst Interviews: Mauricio "Shogun" Rua

[Octaslash08]

Shogun finally got what was his the UFC LHW Belt hell yeah!

[cprince305]

Does it get any better than this??? Im tellin u man, this guy, "The MMA analyst" is a freaking genious. Another awesome interview man, keep it up! Shogun Rua #2 pound for pound fighter of the world... After Fedor of course.

[thuglyf121212]

SHOGUN UR A LEGEND AFTER FEDOR!!!

[WinkyMaeve]

his english is really strong for the amount of time hes been fighting in north america

[miagisan]

look at the size of his jaw! I don't see him ever getting ko'd especially with how talented in every other facet of the game he is... I mean I think the I've only seen him phased once in the lil nog fight and his recovery time was amazing though.

[lindacrysta1992]

yeah shogun is my hero U_U n hes so hot i wanna get fucked by him really hard!!!! n i dont care about his wife =)

[VEGETADTX]

Mauricio Shogun Rua is soooo underrated just because he had that surgery and all the problems out of shape this and that but now...he is relatively back and is able to beat anybody in UFC I believe.

Of course Machida fight was his win, I don't even want to discuss it :)

WAR Shogun! prove that you're by far the best LHW in UFC!

[ian2470147]

wow, his english is getting far better

[strokeskid45]

@takeitezy7

He thought he had already won the fight. Why risk trying to finish(I'm assuming you mean TKO or KO) Machida when everyone knows Machida is most dangerous when you attack him as we saw in their fight Machida kneed him in the face a couple of times. Ouch!!

[tbra3477]

woah how did you get this interview?!!

[strokeskid45]

I agree with SOCOMvet69... It looked like Shogun could've went another 5 rounds and Machida was happy for it to be over.

[takitezy7]

@strokeskid45 fight is 5 rounds.. dont u think it would be stupid to not apply yourself all the way till the end? if shogun had so much more in the tank why didnt he finish it?

[smals9591]

SHOGUN ALL DA WAYYY...HEs GoNNA KiLL MAChiDa n GOOnnaa Be THE NEW LIGHTHEAVY UFC cHAmPioN!!

[takitezy7]

@smals9591 wait till after ufc 113...im gonna be teasing you so hard u will have to change ur username

[xxafijrxx]

this interview was really bad....so much bias and nuthugging. just not good professionalism.

[elel666diablo]

Couldn't agree more, what an ass kisser

[AndrewBehning]

the rematch would have happened sooner but machida broke his hand in the fight or something i heard

[Mojo1982]

Machida had a broken rib.

[AndrewBehning]

was that what it was? i really thought it was a hand

[nadhim69]

the ring is better for someone like mauricio, machida vs shogun was a match against the best ring fighter and the best octogon fighter .

[takitezy7]

@nadhim69 hmmm lets make it fair and let me rematch in the hexagon?

[pbrlimit]

Listen guys, we need to stop acting as if Machida is some run-of-the-mill fighter. He is going to be twice as difficult for Shogun the second time around. I can't wait for the rematch. War Machida & War Shogun !

[dietermauer]

@pbrlimit wrong! Shogun is gonna be twice as difficult for Machida than the first time.

[Estebanfuturo]

arrebenta a cara dele mais uma vez.

[Estebanfuturo]

shogun mais uma so mais uma, ese dragao do paraguay tem que ser knocauteado, vai com comfiannca que o medo a a melhor arma dele, cuidado com o contragolpe bicho e concentra.

[a7green]

....... Great interview.

Shogun all day.

[simonsex]

whats the song in the end?

[Grimm117]

everytime shogun talks in pretty much every interview ive seen he is either chewing gum or moving his mouth like he is chewing gum lol

had to point that out

war shogun!

[Grimm117]

shogun is the shit lol, his english is better than machidas haha (still not amazing though )

hes guna get the belt he should of gotten at ufc 104

[HFC11492]

THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

SHOGUN RUA!!!!

Get what is yours in the rematch man!

[immortaltechniques]

tiesto!

[shacasulu]

the true light heavyweight champion of the world

mauricio "shogunnnnn" ruaaa!!

war shogun!!!!

[SOCOMvet69]

at the end of the fight, who was confident that they were going to win? Shogun. who still looked fresh? Shogun. its too bad that the system doesnt take to effect. because honestly, if the fight continued, machida would end up in the hospital....shogun's cardio>>>>machida's. in the rematch shogun is gong to have to do some damage in the first 3 rounds and finish it. machida is weak

[frost310]

WAR SHOGUN.

my mma idol. cant wait to see him claim whats rightfully his!!!!

[ltsStev3]

@frost310 Don't worry Shogun will get his belt in the rematch

[shacasulu]

fucking a!!!!!!!!!

[SOCOMvet69]

wow, you actually interviewed shogun.....SUBSCRIBED

[deathwing69]

Big machida fan here, just wanna say I respect shogun a lot and i did think he had the better advantage that night. I like both fighters and machida is my favorite, but shogun is a great guy and I cant wait for the rematch. Regardless of how many people bitch about how the fight turned out lets not forget that both these guys are the best the lw heavyweight has to offer.

[RedShogun13]

Damn Shogun looks huge...

Lyoto had NOTHING to give to Shogun in their first fight. Seeing how badly Lyoto got tooled, I'm gonna say Lyoto get's tooled AGAIN in the rematch.

[squadup22]

Im loving the english shogun, keep it up. I cant beleive hes already started trainning, thats crazy, u can tell hes going to have bad intentions come may 1st.

[mctroll89]

Shogun is the fucking man!

[roycesboy]

except for three proffesional mma judges thats the key part

[xkillaz18x]

cant wait to see shogun fight machida again

[odwithap]

great vid man!!!!

[bradfordconaway]

Great interview! I liked the questions about fearing Manchida's striking.

[flahr1]

Nice catch....thanks for that

[nimaxify]

Somebody do something ...stop the rematch ....I have a really bad feeling what's goin to happen to machida this time...shogun is goin for the kill

[roycesboy]

i feel the same way but the opposite outcome

[clyde2525]

damn this is crazy.....shogun is a great guy, you can always judge a person based on how they treat people below their social status quo........did you roll with him ? lol

your next interview has to be gsp!!

[elmatador404]

Big props on getting that interview. Shogun always comes across as a great guy. Here are my predictions for the Ultimate Fighter Finale, if you want to include these in our "Race to 100" Nelson Jon Jones Alexander Edgar Marcus Jones Schoonover Wren Stann Howard Bocek

[barcode477]

this next fight is gonne end by stoppage for rua droppin him with leg kicks and ground and pound for the TKO

[theymiya]

god shit buddy this is nice

[wade2bosh]

Good for Shogun - He no longer fears the unknown in what Machida could do.

[Doctorkillbydeath87]

Holy shit, how did you pull this off?

[shenron05]

Ufc judges are crooks...And they sweay to whatever fighter can make them more money atm...Then dana acts like he dont know..and makes a rematch...ANyone else smell marketing genius??? The undefeatable lyoto wins by controversy...and now the rematch of the decade...come on now...Shogun should be champ...BS

[shenron05]

spyhunter..U must be doing fucking crack cocaine if u think lyoto won that fight...

U wanna know why he had such a hard time ?

Cause he never fought anyone that technicaly good like shogun...look at his past opponents...Rashad..Silva..Fra­nklin..Sokoju...Tito...Come on..U guys make him seem way better then what he is..mabey if they made him fight muay thai fighters more... or just faster fighters...he would get hit...and when he did...he did get hit..and lost..I dont give a fuck what u think.

[920802]

dude, lyoto had a hard time because he coulnt counter shoguns kicks, cause he was always keeping his hands up high, and he threw very few punches. Shogun entered the fight with a great gameplan and he executed it perfectly

[TheBlairSmithProject]

i hope shogun can bring the pain secound time around. i've got a bad feeling though that machida has taken his measure and has some suprises for him. oh well he won the first fight anyway

[TheBlairSmithProject]

lyoto was more suprised that he won than shogun was that he lost

[NSSwiftSpear]

Congrats on the great interview man! You didn't get him to do the "MMA, it's important" this time :P

[921144666]

May 1st!!!!!

[WestAusMatty]

good interview from Shogun,

Also good questions were asked and you conducted it in a good manner.

good shit!

[ebze70]

WAR SHOGUN!!

[Steelyking6725]

MMA Analyst bringing us the best! Can't wait for the next vid!

[EbopAllDay]

The pride fights are my favourites:

Rampage,Shogun,Wanderlei,Cro cop,Anderson,Fedor,Noguiera's etc

[pbrlimit]

Here's why Shogun's nut-huggers need to relax. The rematch will prove if Shogun really deserves to be the champ because if the initial nod had gone to Shogun, this rematch would have still taken place at a certain time because Machida had no competition other than Shogun. So if Shogun is deserving to be the champ, he will convincingly beat Machida.

[YourExposer]

Karsten, dude, your cred is seriously rising off the charts! I think this interview is your biggest and best yet in that its visibility is bound to be greater than your 1st Shogun interview. Dayyyuummm! Good for you, dude! Can I have your autograph? For my friend, I mean, not for me. ;)

WAR SHOGUN! Awesome work, man!

BTW, more of your YT vids would be real MONEY rolling in if you could have posted them with no copyrighted audio elements in them. Or maybe you don't want the ads? Or...???

[doliveij]

Thank you and .... hmmmm?

YT money?

I think I need WAY more hits then MMA viewers can provide.

I need Souja Boy hits.

lolol

Thanks though

[YourExposer]

@Karsten

No seriously dude. You've got a good and steadily growing subscriber base and you're partnered. Thing is, if YouTube "pre-detects" copyrighted audio elements in any given otherwise-qualified vid,. they'll automatically NOT send you a revenue-share invite for that vid. BUT, for instance, if your first Shogun interview hadn't had copyrighted music in it, YouTube would have long since come after you for the ad space. on your vid page (ad clicks = dollars). Your view numbers are ample!.

[doliveij]

Thanks.

I'll look closer into it. I already have the option with every video to take part in, "revenue sharing." But it has a bunch of requirements and I heard a little about the views needed. I thought I needed a certain amount of views within a period of time.

But I will review it again.

[fumbaxt]

What Im asking myself is how the hell do u beat a Machida???

Hes got the judges on his side cause hes the champ and after all hes still the most elusive fighter in the MMA world...

Just that one question "How do u beat Machida????"

Well I guess the only thing positive coming out of that unfair decision is that theres gonna be a rematch and Shogun is gonna have to be way more agressive and Machida has pressure on him so hes also gonna have to push it pretty damn hard.May please be here

[anowlogy]

Great interview Shogun. Way to show class

[HARKE90]

cool interview bro, best mma channel on youtube. take care man

[xxxFaustusxxx]

Gotta love Shogun

[jsalvi21]

Thanks big time for this interview!, I've been waiting for this, Shogun has proven to be a class act through out this controversy!, by the way is that the shogun team shirt that he is wearing?

oh and to avisionofsorrow, really leg kicks only, he pressed the entire fight!!!, and a blast from the past rampage lost his belt to forrest due to leg kicks,

[avisionofsorrow]

Sweet he is speaking mostly English! Machida needs to step up!

[MontrealMMA]

Canada loves Shogun AND Machida

[southerndevil]

Shogun seems to have taken the loss well. Thankyou for posting MMA Analyst

[den19852]

Good job on the English Shogun, he's definitely taking lessons.

Also great interview Carson, gotta be awesome to interview Shogun.

[BrokenBard]

Great interview. It's good to see Shogun focused again and not too down about the loss. I think the fire is in him again.

I gave Shogun 4/5 rounds against Machida. The Athletic Commission needs a serious investigation and possible turning of the decision, maybe to a No Contest due to judging error.

[redrum154]

Can you hug on his nuts a lil harder CanEHdian faggot???

WHY lie and say 'everybody thought you won' when you know how many people went back, saw the fight again WITH NO JOE ROGAN INFLUENCE, and saw that yeah, I can see why they gave Machida the dec. Machida eeked out the 1st 3 rounds, and Shogun won the last 2 convincingly, but NONE deserved a 10-8 so based on the scoring system MACHIDA WON...quit crying bitches...

Rampage was the sacrificial lamb but NEVER crown a champ due to leg kicks

[avisionofsorrow]

At last, someone who saw it the same way as me.

Shogun is a great fighter- but you should not be crowned a champion if all you did was leg kicks a whole fight.

[marbs0204]

Shogun did more than just throw leg kicks. That argument from Machida's supporters that Shogun only threw leg kicks is not only the weakest, but most baseless argument put forth.

[anowlogy]

Dud you either win or lose a fight. You cant say that because someone is "Champ," they should automatically win a decision. And it is naive to count out leg kicks. As a fighter I can tell you that leg kicks do as much damage as body kicks. In most of the exchanges, Machida went high (which is admirable) and Mauricio went low. But Machida was missing his mark, and Shogun wasnt. Shogun clearly won the fight, and Machida being the "Champ" doesnt change a thing.

[Trigunflame]

Believe it or not, Not Every UFC broadcast has Joe Rogan blabbing about like the idiot that he is.

Machida Lost the Fight, period.

[GorillaKingdomFN]

"If that were me I would have went crazy & Smashed cars." That made me laugh.

[isafany]

Yayy, I was waiting for this! Great interview man :)

[ZARBONZARBON]

omg. i wanna meet shogun too :(

[G4MER04]

lol this was posted on mmamania

[nightdogblack]

great video mma analyst

[XMETALBYNUMBERSX]

awsome interview!!!!!

[MobiusCoin]

omgomgomgomgomgomg!!!! this is so fucking cool!!!!

[gijoyojo1]

Good interview bro.You know I don't miss any mma events,and I didn't give Lyoto one round.I even picked Machida to win but I have to be honest.I agree you should do more interviews you asked questions that interest people.

[Chom84]

just seen your interview from 2008, cant believe he gave you a 6 haha, funny bastard.

[Chom84]

just watched this on another site, I was shocked when it came up as MMA Analyst, I thought someone had robbed your name. Nice interview mate, you should interview more fighters, good job.

[confusedsay]

Sweet! Thanks!

[firejoker]

WAR SHOGUNNNNNN!!!!

[Boonorp]

Nice that you had the opportunity to interview Shogun. You deserve more spotlight in the world of MMA, even though/especially since you don´t nuthug the UFC.

Well done!

[RandomGuyUK]

Nice interview, well done mate.

[45axelh]

Now I know why MMA Analyst nuthugs so much on Shogun, since he has access to him.

[Mojo1982]

Great interview, Shogun looks as if hasn't got a care in the world. The rematch will be epic, I just hope doesn't go to decision and that someone wins decisively.

[187Hoffa187]

SHOW GUN!

[KneebarBuffet]

yes, yes and more YES !!!!

WAR SHOGUN !!!

[whoisfettel]

How do you keep getting interviews with Shogun?

[cneoptolemos]

Shogun shows his class, nice work.

[ltsStev3]

Shogun is THE MAN! Real Champ here

Never disrespectful and 1 of the best fighters in the world

[thefightingclub1]

wow, this is huge, huge respect man

[666ofdoom]

Good Job with the interview 5 star I feel bad for shogun damn he got rob

[xxafijrxx]

really, really bad interviewing.

[stoneeh]

please try to ask questions next time that arent so stupid. nobody cares how sure he was of winning and if there was a conflict after the fight. apart from that, it's disrespectful - do you know what the word PRIVACY means?

if you had any clue about MMA, you would have asked him about what techniques he chose to employ in the fight and why he didnt use his trademark nonstop muay thai attacks against machida. another good question would have been how his physical preparation was

[johneblaze82]

@stoneeh Shut up and stop being an ass hole. Who cares what the hell you think. This guy is the man.

[stoneeh]

NO U!

[neb967]

Great interview man...

[SteveHubbardGuitar]

WAR SHOGUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Canada loves you!

[civiurda]

awesome another shogun interview 5/5 ....hes going to stop machida in the next fight

[thesecharms]

[DKnightJCL]

[nicksousa8]

2 interview..great work!!!

[kkirT]

He's surprisingly good at English, I thought he didn't speak a word of it.

[Loomr]

Yea his English has improved much since the last time

[ebze70]

This is easily my favorite fighter, I would die if he loses in May, WAR SHOGUN!! Hopefully I'll grab some tickets, when they're available.

What do you think the gameplan will be at UFC 113?

[devinemassacre]

I always have been, and always will be a Shogun fan. One of my favorite fighters of all time

[rua893]
