I think Rua - Ortiz would be entertaining.

The only substitute for victory is overkill.

I dont think so...

I could still see either fighter defeating any of the other Top 5, Other then Bones.

BJ Penn and Shogun Rua fan for life.

Depends on how the fight goes down. 1 sided beating loser probably becomes a gatekeeper

For Griffin, maybe. Even if he does take a beating, i still think he can be relevant in this division. But it all depends on where he’s at mentally, and it’s plain to see that he may be done.

Neither

I hate when a fighter loses and all of a sudden he’s done and washed up. Sho isn’t far removed from the title. Forrest is either on or off. Both fighters can still accomplish much.

That article didn't really address what happens to the loser

And I think it is really interesting question that someone should explore

I can’t imagine the ass-whipping that Rua took in his last fight has helped him much.

Did you see the size of that chicken?

On the other hand, should Shogun win, I would love to see him and Anderson at a CW or at 205, preferably on the first Fox card…still one of my all time favorite fantasy fights…
