Gustafsson: I Will Knock Out Shogun In The 2nd | UFC NEWS

“When it’s time, I will be more than ready to fight him. Shogun is a very tricky fighter, he has a good double-leg, really good striking, I have to be prepared for everything. His biggest strength is his heart, as a fighter. It’s gonna be a tough fight, for sure. I will knock him out in the second round.”
In speaking with Kimura.se, UFC light-heavyweight contender Alexander Gustafsson talks about his scheduled UFC on FOX 5 fight against former division champ, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. But can he deliver on his words or will “Shogun” prove to be too much to handle?

Gus is a beast. I’d have to agree with his prediction.
Hendo couldn’t knock Shogun out, why does Gustafsson think he can? Thiago Silva took his best shots and took him to a decision.
FYI GET RID OF FITCH (forever) just changed his name to GET RID OF FITCH (forever unable to post on this forum)..
ok, was he the one copying me? I thought WrestlingRules or Keep fitch (forever) were the ones doing that.
THATS BS…(KEEP FITCH FOREVER) is the clown u should ban.
Shogun will come well prepared and demolish gustafsson round 3 knockout
Hendo couldn;t even KO Shogun and he hit him with those right hands! I don’t see Gustafsson KOing shogun.. Still think shogun is going to win this fight but if Gustafsson were to win it would be by decision. But again i think shogun comes out with the win!

SHOGUN!

The only thing stopping Shogun in the UFC is Shogun. When he gets serious and improve on his conditioning, he will be tough to be beat by anybody in the UFC.
R.I.P Shogun…Alex ‘The Mauler’ Gustafsson is going to eat you.
Shogun will KO Alexander… I like him a lot but Shogun is hard as they come, going to be an interesting fight but Shoguns a beast, hate Shogun in 3 rounds fights but it will have to suffice
Shogun should win. But he’s already been in 3 wars his last 3 fights. Hopefully he’s not over doing it
Completely agree, too much punishment recently plus blocking all of Vera’s punches with his face. I’m taking Gus, he will have better and more variation to strikes
you mean two wars that jones fight was more like mike tyson fight and baby.
Can’t Wait to See this Fight
Shogun is a few punches away from having major head damage, he takes WAY too much punishment. I see this going to decision in favor of Gus..
Gustafsson is talented and athletic, but he is not a Jon Jones. He shoudn’t disrespect Shogun.
I hope Shogun will Knock him out
