Knee looks good and looks like he gained some muscle.

I just can’t wait for Sat. and hope he comes away with a tko. Sigh

i got nervous watching this. This will get ugly with Goldy yammering on about the Pete williams KO on hammy.

Best LHW in the world (when Healthy). rampage, a close 2nd!

Just no. I can’t wait for Old Coleman to send this has-been back to Brazil. He will never get the UFC belt. Just cause he beat a bunch of nobodys and the Old Rampage in Pride doesn’t make him number 1. I just saw his HL and he used a lot of illegal blows in his fights. That wont work in the UFC.

P.S. I just wanted to offend John and no one else. :D

well, me thinks you offended shogun and not john, but you’ll have to eat your words come Jan 17 :)

Shogun is the fucking man. The only thing I’m going to hate about this fight is hearing his corner yelling “Ooo-aaah!” But I guess it will be worth it when Shogun knocks Coleman in retirement where he belongs.

it’s ‘boa’, as in ‘nice’. just wanted to clear that up, don’t mean it as an insult :)

Mex: the noises that rudimar fedrigo and the chute box corner are better:

Wheeeeeeeey! Wheeeeeeeeeeeey!

I just wish soccer kicks were allowed in UFC. Shogun will murder all the rest in LHW.

Shogun looks awesome in that video…he has a point to prove on saturday….and I think he is going to make it in a strong fashion.

Cant wait for this guy to get back on top of the lhw division.

by matthew on Jan 14, 2009 6:29 PM EST reply actions

Damn I was thinking Coleman might have been a decent underdog bet at +300 since Shogun is coming off an injury, but he looks badass in that video.

by stevo on Jan 14, 2009 6:29 PM EST reply actions

Pride nuthuggers unite!!! War Shogun and Hendo!!

by William Blake on Jan 14, 2009 6:48 PM EST reply actions

shogun, soon to be lhw champion of the world!

Both Fedor and Shogun are my favourite fighters, which means I will continue to support and root for them whether they win, lose or draw. Love them or hate them, there is no denying that they are two of the classiest and most humble fighters in the sport today. Realistically (and not just because I am a Shogun nuthugger) I see Shogun beating Coleman by TKO or submission in Round 1 and if he is truly back to maximum fitness, I see him fighting for the belt sooner rather than later. I still maintain that an injury-free Shogun is the best LHW in the world, despite his disappointing loss to Forrest…

looks to be in good shape again! he’s never been the same since he broke his arm against Coleman, so lets hope he’s back now..

by RoB on Jan 14, 2009 7:30 PM EST reply actions

he beat Randleman and overeem convincingly post the broken arm. His a great fighter. I’m expecting big things from him this year.

by Nick on Jan 14, 2009 8:28 PM EST up reply actions

yea i know, but still he didn’t look the same, he used to be a killer in the standup but in his last fights he’s looked bad in the standup and he’s been trying to get the takedown all the time..

by RoB on Jan 14, 2009 9:25 PM EST up reply actions

he does look to be in much better physical shape than the fight with forrest

one friend want a bet with me(i am not a betting person) for the main AND the co main event and he told me that i make the picks( he believe he has a lot of luck)
soo in the co-main event i am for sure picking shogun but in the main event i am not pretty sure i think rich is winning this via UD but i like some suggestions what u guys think on the main event
