I think Rashad will be able to take him down; but not do a whole lot and Rua may be able to get back to his feet fairly quickly like Thiago - I think Rashad may dirtybox him against the cage Randy Couture style instead.
I think Cardio could come into question with Rashad would better equipped if this goes to the championship rounds: Shogun's cardio has been poor in the past (Forrest, Coleman).
On the other hand I do hope Rua knocks him out, which is a distinct possibility if the fight stays standing for a prolonged period.
