On the other side of this one Martin. Rua's definitely not what he used to be, but historically he rebounds well from bad losses (with the exception of the Sonnen defeat he suffered after the Gustasffson loss. A fight in which he clearly went in underestimating Sonnen). Don't think that is the case now. He's aware of the threat OSP presents and appears to be coming into this fight as focused as he was against Te Huna. OSP on the other hand is taking a massive step up in competition in this one (Rua isn't Villante, Donovan, Krylov, or Ryan Jimmo). And though he has the tools to beat Shogun, just feel like this is to big a stage for him. Predicting a Rua stoppage in this one.
Either way BOL!
