UFC 76: Shogun knee injury is not serious

shogun.jpg
Panic struck this morning when a report surfaced that Mauricio "Shogun" Rua injured his knee in training and would possibly miss his Octagon debut at UFC 76 on September 22.

Fear not ... the Brazilian is apparently well and fit enough to resume normal training, according to Tatame.com.

Here's a snip (from a very rough Google translation):

"I hurt the knee training. I [went] to the doctor, but a scare was alone. [The doctor] already liberated me to train normally."

Shogun -- perhaps the best 205-pound fighter in the world -- appears to have dodged a bullet. Fans, too, should also be thankful that he is still on course to fight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

He is without a doubt one of the most exciting and explosive fighters on the planet. And he has the ability to turn a competitive division upside-down in a matter of months.

Put simply, Shogun is a guy who puts on a show every time he fights ... and UFC 76 should be no different.

There's no word yet on who he will be matched up against -- stay tuned for more details.

Thank god, I was begining to think we had a LightHeavyweight St. Pierre on our hands.

He needs a specific opponent to train for instead of just going 100% with no focus. A 205 lb. contender should step up and take the fight.

He would need to be injured about 3 years straight for that to happen.

Ya konw for such an incredible speciman of an athlete, Pierre sure does get injured more often then most.

I hope he gets clobbered by Koscheck…Perhaps his phantom injuries will surface by then.

I know there isn’t enough time but I still think the winner of the tito v evans fight would be the best option for shogun. It gives him a legit contender plus it would be the perfect set up for a title shot. I would also settle for chuck vs shogun….cause I think we can all keep dreaming of the chuck vs wandi fight.

“Put simply, Shogun is a guy who puts on a show every time he fights … and UFC 76 should be no different.”

what happens when he looses like CRO COP. Not saying he will just throwing it out there. That would be crazy though right.

Who has Bisping fought? Shogun would annihilate him. Bisping isn’t bad, but he hasn’t fought anyone to show me he’s a top flight fighter yet.

This such great news…Looking forward to Shogun in Anaheim

No Shogun wouldn’t annihilate Bisping…He’d beat him handy (at the moment) but no one walks through Bisping; he’s just one of those genuinely tough guys out there. Bisping will also raise his game when he has to…When you corner an animal it fights…Bisping is much the same. Just watch Bisping vs. Epstein. (I know cage rage sucks but still).

Shogun is not going to get a shot in at least 3 fights Dana wants somebody most ufc fans are used to. I want shogun to be champ but NOBODY is gonna be safe when chuck returns

Bisping is an animal and if he fought somebody like shogun he would hold his own and rise to the occasion, its not his fault they are stopping him from fighting true contenders.

Dont get me wrong Shogun is obviously an incredible fighter but I actually think he is better suited for 185lbs he is tiny, just like Micheal Bisping

No, he would have to be injured twice to be always injured like GSP.

You guys make me laugh with your GROSS EXAGERATIONS," 3 years staight" try 2 TIMES in his whole career. You guys should be happy that fighters like Shogun and GSP train sooooo hard that SOMETIMES they get injured in training ,so they can deliver the exiting fights that they do. Maybe they shouldn’t even train at all, why take the risk of getting hurt in traing.
