Just watched Shogun X Nakamura ... *spoilers*
** i donīt know if it was needed, but i put "spoilers" in the title, for precaution ..
Guys, i was reading some comments about this fight, and was all about "Shogun got outstruck pretty badly!" ...
I didnīt see that ... they exchanged at best, 10 .. 15 punches ... and they both missed most part of then ... or blocked ... for me, in the stand up part, it was 50/50 ... even with a lot of shogun kicks and knees .... but i was really impressed with Shoguns ground game ... what a fuck was that ? some would say "Nakamura wasnīt in his night .." but damn, neither shogun .. and they displayed a nice battle on the ground .. with shogun, dominating literally every single position and move ... there was a moment , when Nak had everything to sweep Shogun, but i donīt know how, and from where, Shogun kept him there ... in another moment, Shogun used naks sweep to sweep nak again ... haha, that was fuckīn nice .. and when they was getting up, Shogun waked first to stomp nak ...
So, yes, he looked for the ground game, he wanted no part of Naks striking, but.. a guy who is for first a striker ... tooking down a world class judo fighter, and even prefering the ground game ... when most of people was thinking that Shogun should keep the fight on the feet, to survive ...
Nak couldnīt do anything on the ground... At the final moments, the judo guy was calling the striker, for a stand up fight!
So was great .. i enjoyed this fight.. a lot!
Shogun seemed overall, pretty good for me ... very intense, fighting where the fight is, as always ...
