For Shogun now being the only fighter to have won both the PRIDE FC “Light Heavyweight” (wasn’t it officially MW) Championship while in PRIDE and the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.

  • Whereas Rampage defeated Hendo in the UFC to unify the championships.

Shogun never held the Pride Middleweight title, he won the GP. It was Wand that held it forever then lost it to Hendo…

Good Pic, that pride belt is so much brighter than the UFC belt

He killed a lot more souls to get the PRIDE belt

Shogun has his title, all is right in the lhw division.

This man’s life has shown that with all the talent and skill in the world a bad stretch of luck can derail anyone. But if you persevere and never lose your work ethic, everything will work itself out.

And his daughter is adorable….how long till she is stomping heads/passing guard via superman punch?

Very true.

Shogun is an awesome fighter. I am glad to see him back in top form. Watching Shogun / Rampage 2 or Shogun / Evans will be a joy.

Everytime I see this it remind’s me of my failed dreams of being the next Tito Trinidad (overrated and fat)

I get a little emotional anytime I see something Pride related. I’m still in partial denial that Pride actually ended.

Man, if Shogun can learn to speak english well he will BLOW UP in the US.

He has the look, he’s kind, he’s patient w/ the media, and he’s a legit badass. If he keeps winning. He’s going to be a megastar.

ive been saying this for a pretty long time

gsp, shogun and sexyama doing a promotional appearence on oprah before a ufc event at least one of them is fighting in would make it sell a million ppvs

We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!

If they were on Oprah

You would be looking at 2 – 3 million PPV buys….

Maybe he should stop trying to tap into it and start trying to tap it

HIIIIIYOOOOOO

He would be the total package.

Dana should let Shogun enter the Dream LHW GP (yeah I know it aint happening) and collect 2 more belts just for shits and giggles. =)

I didn't know...

Very nice!!

That Grand Prix belt is beautiful…

Very well deserved, I am a huge Machida fan but Shogun has shown what never giving up can accomplish. The amount of setbacks, frustrations and injuries this man has faced would cause most fighters and athletes to abandon their careers. Shogun is a true symbol of persistence and perseverance, bravo.
