“What I always say is that Shogun is always two fights away from a title shot. No matter what happens, he won maybe the biggest Pride Grand Prix, is a former UFC champion and fans love his style. I say this potentially. Everything depends on the circumstances, the fighters’ injuries, the calendar, the champion being active, so there are a lot of subjective aspects. But he would do at most three fights before a title shot. However, we can’t think about it right now because he has a bout coming.” In a recent interview with Brazil’s Combate.com, Eduardo Alonso, ‘Shogun’s’ Manager, discussed the fighting future of the former UFC champion.

It was kind of a crazy, chaotic household, really. My dad was in and out of jail, and he’s in prison now. There was so much trouble and violence all around me.”

“We’ve got a third-grader who trains with us, and he came up to me one day and he was like ‘did you hear what Dominick Cruz said? I told him we were going to put Cruz in timeout for hurting his feelings. My third-grader was upset over it.” “I mean, the impressive thing here was that he actually got a finish, you know. I didn’t think he could do that. I’m pretty sure the only guy he ever actually had a finish over was something like 1-5. So to see Dom do that, yeah, that was impressive.” “I mean, we weren’t really sitting around thinking about Cruz these past three years. We’ve been out winning fights and winning titles and starting businesses. I guess he was just sitting around with his surgeon thinking about us and thinking about what he’d say when he came back. And then all he could come up with was a third-grade insult.”
