The fact I used to watch Shogun fight before I ever laced me up is crazy!

I was speaking to my friend Terry Etim when we was last on fight island and one thing we agreed upon was... shogun is a living legend of a man. Looking forward to the fight & hope it’s a war.

Shogun doing a good job wearing Craig down making him take him down over and over #UFC255

Outstanding performance @PCraigmma

Never easy to watch legends slow down due to the wear and tear of fighting. Craig’s grappling offense was too much for Shogun to handle. #UFC255

Craig fought a masterful fight , great plan against Dangerous legend of the game
— Eddie Alvarez (@Ealvarezfight) November 22, 2020
That crazy seeing Shogun tap to strikes. We have seen him in so many wars and have always fought till the end..
