|  Brandon "The Truth" Vera vs Maricio "Shogun" Rua
with the possibility of brandon vera moving down to 205 or shogun moving up to heavyweight, this is a possible dream match of the future. both have excellent striking, submissions, clinch game, and i dont know a hole lot about shoguns wrestling, but i know vera has great wrestling as well. so we have 2 of the most well rounded fighters in mma, which fighter do you believe would win.

I think Shogun would overwhelm Vera and score a first round tko.

i think stylistically this would be an AWESOME match up and it wouldnt last long..i'd give the bjj edge to shogun, but vera has good wrestling and good bjj as well...i'd love to see them stand and bang it out, though...

Vera early second round tko | I agree, I think Vera's power wins this one for him. He's just as good on his feet as Shogun and can hold his own on the ground. I think it would be an awesome fight and very close. Vera wins 7 out of 10 times.

Vera has a chance, but i'll say Shogun via TKO in the late first round.

shogun runs a clinic on vera showing him the finer points of muay thai striking...
shogun tko round 1
