why would shogun move up to 227 vs the snake. Ive heard some speculation that him and wanderlei dont want to be in the same weight class just in case they have to fight each other. He would get rocked by hw such as cro cop and fedor, just like silva proved (imo silva is also a little better of a striker but not as smart as shogun but still.) I can also see big nog getting a sub win and barnett a dec. He should stay at 205 and kill the whole division, which i guess he already has. He was undefeated before the accident with coleman and looked dominant against top level fighters. I wouldnt mind seeing vitor fight him he seems to be getting back on track. A focused and determined vitor is a dangerous vitor. What dou u guys think???

i think Arona would beat Shogun in a rematch. He's already beaten Vanderlei twice (regardless of the biased judges's decisions in that second fight). Arona lost to Shogun because he was worn out from that war he had with Silva earlier that night, a war that went the distance, unlike Shogun's first fight that night. Arona was the more physically spent of the two and Shogun was able to capitalize on that. Fighting a fresh Arona in a rematch would be much different. I'd see Arona putting Shogun away in the same fashion he did Vanderlei.
