Shogun Rua vs Ihor Potieria UFC Brazil Prelims Fight Video Part I
Watch UFC 283 Stream Free Replay

Nearly every fan wants to see the legendary Mauricio "Shogun" Rua( 27- 13) end his illustrious career with a dub. The legend is based in Rio and makes its swansong there. He has a wild Pride career and has participated in 23 UFC fights. Sharing the cage with other legends like Forest Griffin, Mark Coleman, Chuck Liddell, Lyoto Machida, Jon Jones, Dan Henderson, and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, who was his last win, he has a UFC record of 11-11-1. In July 2020, he defeated Little Nog for the third time. Since losing to Paul Craig( 2020- TKO) and Ovince Saint Preux( split decision) in the previous two matches, the fighter has fought twice.

Flying over to ruin the party is Ihor Potieria( 18- 3) As long as he receives the first victory of his UFC career, it won't bother him in the least to play the villain. He won 15 straight games, including five knockouts and six submissions, which helped him reach the big time in 2021. Back in July, Nicolae Negumereanu greeted him at the octagon with a barrage of knees and punches to break the streak.

This matchmaking is strange. For a retirement fight, Shogun ought to be well-known among people of his generation. Although it makes no sense, Potieria has a huge opportunity here. Even though Shugun is clearly past his prime, he is still a respectable name to go down in history.

In order for Potieria to know how to get ready, the old slugger will only want to stand and trade. He will have counters set up and ready to pop the cork, and he has hours of tape. He'll make an effort to remain undetectable and throw combinations from various angles.

Although Shogun's speed, reactions, and durability have decreased, he still has power and will pose a threat. Potieria has 15 years on Shogun, is hungry, and a brilliant finisher despite his lack of notable victories. He will be more aggressive and careless because this is the legend's last dance, which will only leave him vulnerable. We anticipate that they will trade with the veteran stalwart first.
