I don't think a training session with a legend like Freddie Roach can ever be considered a waste of time. Just because it didn't lead him to win his next match doesn't mean he didn't learn something that could help him down the road.
Fico feliz em ver Shogun com força total este é o Shogun da época do Pride que queremos ver ... Foi Buscar treinamento de primeira ,agora sim podemos ver um grande Shogun lutando e fazendo a diferença ... Que DEUS abençoe meu amigo ...
I'm glad Shogun is improving his technical striking. It seems he goes a little wild and it can gas you out. Hope his cardio and wrestling are on point.
Hell yeah! Shogun's in my top 5 all time fav. fighters...if you look at other mma fighters train with Roach, they don't look as good as Shogun does. Even if Chael takes Shogun down, he has an active guard for subs and can get up and throw bombs. In a 3 round fight cardio will not be a factor either. RIP American Gangster.
Haha Shogun is 1 of the nicest-down to earth dudes in the UFC By all accounts Shogun is a sweet heart out side the ring Even in interviews Shogun gives off such a genuine warming vibe Its impossible not to love him Then when u watch how he fights=HOLY SHIT Shogun is an all time legendary talent, a killer & a warrior inside the ring As a person Shogun is beautiful.As a fighter Shogun embodies everything that is beautiful about MMA Insane how Shogun can even have 1 hater.Gotta be shills
Mr. Chance has a point though. Chael doesn't just Lay-n'-Pray. He takes people down and beats them up when he can. Good examples are the Stann and Marquardt fights, as well as the first one against Silva. Sonnen comes in with the intention to finish, and so does Shogun, and the contrast in styles between the two should make for an interesting night, I believe.
Shogun V Sonnen is a tough fight to call. It is not a fight I would be betting on. If I was to sway one way I would go with Shogun just because he has been champion but who knows this could go either way. If Sonnen gets the fight to the ground with ease it could be a tough night for shogun.
BTW, Yes, Shogun isnt looking as sharp as a pro boxer on the mitts But still... Ive never seen Shogun look this sharp on the mitts before Shogun has already made impressive gains in his boxing technique and knowledge Cant wait to see Shogun 3.0 vs Sonnen! Shogun was already a deadly MMA striker before working with Roach.....so imagine Shogun now after having worked with Roach???? DAMNNNNNN Shogun's opponents better watch out. Thats all i can say lol Lets gooooo Shogun!!!!!!!
Shogun has changed his whole camp around bringing in wrestling coach mark munoz, muay thai/bjj coach Rafael Cordeiro and boxing coach freddie roach, hes no longer training in brazil which is a good sign of getting out of his comfort zone..WAR SHOGUN!!
Gotta hand it to Chael, his last 2 fights were against the top two p4p greatest. Now he's taking on the former Light-heavyweight champion, no one fights on a schedule like this, except for maybe Jon Jones. 3 loses in a row could mean retirement... I'll be rooting for Chael, but I think he should go back down to middleweight and clean up that division... again.
Hopefully people aren't assuming that because Shogun is training with Freddie Roach, he's going to go into this fight when superior boxing skills that will give him the opportunity to get a KO. Freddie will improve his techniques, and SOME combos, but most importantly, probably how to use the jab better.
So right you are! I don't see Chael winning this one, but I agree Rua is going in the wrong direction which gives me hope that Chael may pull this off.
It looks like his game plan is most likely to use his footwork and sprawls to keep the fight standing and highlight what he's learned from Freddie because i'm pretty sure shoguns not looking to grapple with Chael as that will set himself up for a possible shot and you know once Chael's on top its grind,punch, and continuous pressure.
I never thought Shogun would need to improve his striking he already k.o machida but Freddie Roach seeing some holes with his boxing that just means Shogun still have some improvement to have. Holy Shit we will be seeing a much better striking of Shogun.I feel like Chael would get ko'ed!
Hi didn't humiliated him. He caught him in a guillotine choke. He won fair and straight. Sonnen lost his last 2 fights as well and he came back better. The same will happen to shogun. Good fighters learn from their mistakes. I respect them both.
you never know, don't write sonnen off just because he's had a few loses. he's a really good wrestler and was the only guy who wasn't afraid to fight jon jones.
His fight with Henderson was voted "Fight of the Year." I don't think that was sloppy, but maybe you are taking into account that they both gassed around the second or third round. But that's just Shogun though, every punch he throws is meant to knock his opponent out. I don't recall the Gustaffson fight that much, so I'll have to watch that one again. I believe he still has it, but he just needs to use effective striking rather than powerful striking. A balance of both is always good!
His 3 losses in his last 5 fights are to the now 185lb champion Anderson Silva, considered to be one of/if not the GOAT, and to the reigning 205lb champion John Jones, who is already considered to be one of the GOAT. Chael lost to 2 of the best fighters the world has ever seen. He is still deserving of top-tier fights, because he is still a top-tier fighter.
Shogun is a warrior, you are correct. I'm a HUGE shogun fan, but lately he hasn't been the least bit impressive. When's the last time you've said, "gee, shogun really looked like a title contender tonight." Exactly. Have you forgotten Chael has beaten Marquardt, bisping, stann, okami etc. I mean he dominated Anderson Silva and would have been the middleweight champ had Silva not submitted him. My point is, Chael is a powerful wrestler and is going to beat Shogun.
venum boxing gloves is all good. the best sellerrs and recommended gloves is, venum VENUM "ABSOLUTE" BOXING GLOVES - BLACK and VENUM "GIANT 2.0" BOXING GLOVES - BLACK - NAPPA LEATHER. in US you can find it in mmawarehouse com or combatsports com
Sonnen is going to go for the takedown immediately. I doubt he'll hang with Shogun. He'll probably soften him up with some wrestling, then he won't mind standing up with him. Hopefully I am wrong though. A fan of Sonnen I am, but I'd like to see Shogun win this one.
Yeah shogun is so good on the ground, thats why he has so many submissions and why he tries to stand up when somebody takes him down. He's striker, don't make him out to be some grappling wizard, he's a black belt in BJJ, but then there's BLACK BELTS in BJJ, like werdum, roger gracie, bj penn, gonzaga, souza, etc. His ground game is slightly above average but its not his strong suit.
I don't think a training session with a legend like Freddie Roach can ever be considered a waste of time. Just because it didn't lead him to win his next match doesn't mean he didn't learn something that could help him down the road.
Thank u Freddie roach for bringing some boxing into mma .. the m,a community loves both u and boxing 🥊!
Freddie-"Throw the right hand at me" *Shogun throws left* Sonnen is in trouble now
Thank you freddie! used this training on tehuna!
sifun what an incredible left hook that was
Fico feliz em ver Shogun com força total este é o Shogun da época do Pride que queremos ver ... Foi Buscar treinamento de primeira ,agora sim podemos ver um grande Shogun lutando e fazendo a diferença ... Que DEUS abençoe meu amigo ...
I will always love the brawler that comes out in Shogun when he's hurt. XD He gives it his all 'til he collapses! War Shogun indeed!
Shogun is a legend, i really hope he puts on an impressive performance this time.
The old Shogun was a world beater! So fast, agile and lethal! We'd be lucky to just get half of that fighter back. Fingers crossed!
awesome, love freddie. he taught gsp how to use the jab to find range and he showed it can be a great weapon
My fav coach of all time!
Oh im so PUMPED to see his polished BOXING!
this is an interesting matchup. shogun looks good, cant wait
oh live and free, that awesome.... will watch
talent can only take you so far
love this video
Rua is a fucking legend. Can't take away the fights he gave us, no matter the hate.
Nice to see shogun upgrading his game. hopefully he can get his cardio back up and become the dominant fighter he used to be.
Can't wait!!!
Freddie Roach the best of the best no doubt about that
I'm glad Shogun is improving his technical striking. It seems he goes a little wild and it can gas you out.
Hope his cardio and wrestling are on point.
Can't wait!!
I would give anything for one of my boys to train with Freddie . I love him.
Freddy is awesome!
Te Huna knows who punches like a man
training with Freddie roach is huge for shogun
everyone underestimates chaels boxing, he has great footwork, has good hand speed, lands alot of the punches he throws and always keeps his hands up
shogun always good i hope he doing well
I need to watch this fight!
vamos shogun, aguante el chute boxe de brasil loco, todo el respeto desde argentina.
Go Shogun!
WAR SHOGUN AND SONNEN BOTH MY FAVORITE FIGHTERS
Shogun Rua with even better boxing. That's a scary thought.
He didn't say "now I punch like Superman", he said "now I punch like a man".
Hell yeah! Shogun's in my top 5 all time fav. fighters...if you look at other mma fighters train with Roach, they don't look as good as Shogun does. Even if Chael takes Shogun down, he has an active guard for subs and can get up and throw bombs. In a 3 round fight cardio will not be a factor either. RIP American Gangster.
Shogun generates so much power in his punches. He goes for the KO almost every swing. Nonetheless, he will still always be feared.
Haha Shogun is 1 of the nicest-down to earth dudes in the UFC
By all accounts Shogun is a sweet heart out side the ring
Even in interviews Shogun gives off such a genuine warming vibe
Its impossible not to love him
Then when u watch how he fights=HOLY SHIT
Shogun is an all time legendary talent, a killer & a warrior inside the ring
As a person Shogun is beautiful.As a fighter Shogun embodies everything that is beautiful about MMA
Insane how Shogun can even have 1 hater.Gotta be shills
SICK!
Thanks Charles Arnoud
Shogun training with Freddie Roach is a scary thought
Agreed. He probably spent a hour or two at Wild Card filming this and then bounced. Chute box striking has shown to be the most effective in MMA.
R.I.P Chael
Robert Greene in his book “Mastery”, has used the life story of Roach to derive some valuable life lessons in mentorship.
Manny also trained with Roach right before beating the asses of numerous champions.
He doesn't say superman punch at the end, he says now he punches like a man. Go Shogun
Shogun hands down.
Mr. Chance has a point though. Chael doesn't just Lay-n'-Pray. He takes people down and beats them up when he can. Good examples are the Stann and Marquardt fights, as well as the first one against Silva. Sonnen comes in with the intention to finish, and so does Shogun, and the contrast in styles between the two should make for an interesting night, I believe.
He look like in good shape for this coming fight
You are right!!
RIP Chael
here we go again
Freddie knows his stuff. I would like to work with him.
Shogun V Sonnen is a tough fight to call. It is not a fight I would be betting on. If I was to sway one way I would go with Shogun just because he has been champion but who knows this could go either way. If Sonnen gets the fight to the ground with ease it could be a tough night for shogun.
Keep it up!
Yes Roger, Shogun had that pacquiao speed. Shogun's hands were so fast as he was tapping out.
RIP Sonnen
BTW,
Yes, Shogun isnt looking as sharp as a pro boxer on the mitts
But still...
Ive never seen Shogun look this sharp on the mitts before
Shogun has already made impressive gains in his boxing technique and knowledge
Cant wait to see Shogun 3.0 vs Sonnen!
Shogun was already a deadly MMA striker before working with Roach.....so imagine Shogun now after having worked with Roach???? DAMNNNNNN Shogun's opponents better watch out. Thats all i can say lol
Lets gooooo Shogun!!!!!!!
Shogun 100% of the way.!!
Shogun has changed his whole camp around bringing in wrestling coach mark munoz, muay thai/bjj coach Rafael Cordeiro and boxing coach freddie roach, hes no longer training in brazil which is a good sign of getting out of his comfort zone..WAR SHOGUN!!
If the fights goes like I believe it will, Shogun won't be able to breathe after the second round.
Fucking love shogun
Gotta hand it to Chael, his last 2 fights were against the top two p4p greatest. Now he's taking on the former Light-heavyweight champion, no one fights on a schedule like this, except for maybe Jon Jones. 3 loses in a row could mean retirement... I'll be rooting for Chael, but I think he should go back down to middleweight and clean up that division... again.
Shogun looking great! I didn't know he was able to grow hair! (:
I remember a couple of months ago mentioned how shot Shogun's knees were. I'd love to see someone help Shogun on his striking defense.
When he was trainning with Freddie Roach he wasn't suppose to fight Chael but Little Nog, that is hell of a boxer ;)
Hopefully people aren't assuming that because Shogun is training with Freddie Roach, he's going to go into this fight when superior boxing skills that will give him the opportunity to get a KO. Freddie will improve his techniques, and SOME combos, but most importantly, probably how to use the jab better.
Shogun Vs Hendo was the best LHW fight in MMA history.
Shogun looks new and handsome no homo. I can't wait to see Roach Shogun
So right you are! I don't see Chael winning this one, but I agree Rua is going in the wrong direction which gives me hope that Chael may pull this off.
Machida and Shogun really need to go MW.. That would be VERY VERY interesting
Shogun almost rocking Roach
It looks like his game plan is most likely to use his footwork and sprawls to keep the fight standing and highlight what he's learned from Freddie because i'm pretty sure shoguns not looking to grapple with Chael as that will set himself up for a possible shot and you know once Chael's on top its grind,punch, and continuous pressure.
I never thought Shogun would need to improve his striking he already k.o machida but Freddie Roach seeing some holes with his boxing that just means Shogun still have some improvement to have. Holy Shit we will be seeing a much better striking of Shogun.I feel like Chael would get ko'ed!
my favorite fighter right here imma say first round ko
Hi didn't humiliated him. He caught him in a guillotine choke. He won fair and straight. Sonnen lost his last 2 fights as well and he came back better. The same will happen to shogun. Good fighters learn from their mistakes. I respect them both.
you never know, don't write sonnen off just because he's had a few loses. he's a really good wrestler and was the only guy who wasn't afraid to fight jon jones.
Shogun!Shogun! ~keoni
training with freddie roach will help a lot when ur gonna face a Wolrd silver medalist in WRESTLING
His fight with Henderson was voted "Fight of the Year." I don't think that was sloppy, but maybe you are taking into account that they both gassed around the second or third round. But that's just Shogun though, every punch he throws is meant to knock his opponent out.
I don't recall the Gustaffson fight that much, so I'll have to watch that one again. I believe he still has it, but he just needs to use effective striking rather than powerful striking. A balance of both is always good!
I agree, he needs to be in way better shape so he can show the beast that he truly is.
Anderson, Shogun, Manny... all trained with Roach right before getting their ass beat.
Damn I'm excited to see how much shogun improved! It's not gonna be good for sonnen I'm saying tko 2nd round
Shogun and Roach are bosses Hespect to both
His 3 losses in his last 5 fights are to the now 185lb champion Anderson Silva, considered to be one of/if not the GOAT, and to the reigning 205lb champion John Jones, who is already considered to be one of the GOAT. Chael lost to 2 of the best fighters the world has ever seen. He is still deserving of top-tier fights, because he is still a top-tier fighter.
Unconvinced that Sonnen's wrestling will be as effective at 205.
And his guard. But Shogun definitely has the edge on the feet.
Shogun is a warrior, you are correct. I'm a HUGE shogun fan, but lately he hasn't been the least bit impressive. When's the last time you've said, "gee, shogun really looked like a title contender tonight." Exactly. Have you forgotten Chael has beaten Marquardt, bisping, stann, okami etc. I mean he dominated Anderson Silva and would have been the middleweight champ had Silva not submitted him. My point is, Chael is a powerful wrestler and is going to beat Shogun.
well said bro
The days of Muay Thai Shogun are now gone. :(
This guy is a hasbeen ,#retiring time
venum boxing gloves is all good. the best sellerrs and recommended gloves is, venum VENUM "ABSOLUTE" BOXING GLOVES - BLACK and VENUM "GIANT 2.0" BOXING GLOVES - BLACK - NAPPA LEATHER. in US you can find it in mmawarehouse com or combatsports com
He did not say: "So now I punch like Superman". He said: "Now I punch like a man."

Hopefully I am wrong though. A fan of Sonnen I am, but I'd like to see Shogun win this one.
What good is all that boxing if his back is on the mat?
There you go "thinking" again.
sonnens gunna get pumped.
Yeah shogun is so good on the ground, thats why he has so many submissions and why he tries to stand up when somebody takes him down. He's striker, don't make him out to be some grappling wizard, he's a black belt in BJJ, but then there's BLACK BELTS in BJJ, like werdum, roger gracie, bj penn, gonzaga, souza, etc. His ground game is slightly above average but its not his strong suit.
If he keeps it standing his boxing looks sick
Chael Sonnen is the perfect punching bag.
hopefully Shogun will be able to use his new boxing and jab especially to keep chael at a distance
SHOGUN VS HENDO II !!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN
