Comparing Rua with Sobral is silly. Shogun is not known for finishing his fights by submission and Sobral finishes almost exclusively with submissions.

Shogun, in my opinion, could certainly stand with Liddell. Shogun certainly looked better against my man Rampage than Chuck did. (Of course Chuck looked better against Sobral) Liddell, one of the best strikers in the game, while having power doesn't knock people out. He knocks them down but he doesn't put them to sleep. Shogun has TKO/KO wins against Overeem, Rampage, Cyborg, and Arona which tells me he is capable of standing with good MMA fighters.

I would favor Shogun in this fight somewhere around 60%.

Just my opinion.

We'll never know until it happens.
