When was the last time Shogun showed tihe ability to KO anyone on the feet?

His striking has always been sloppy, but his pace and aggression made it effective prior to snapping his arm. Since then, he has really struggled to do maintain the pace & aggression that made him famous, and as a result he has struggled in the standup department. He has turned into more of a grappling and ground & pound guy since the injury.

Cutting to 205 is a non-issue. Coleman has been weighing in at around 225 in his most recent fights. Cutting less than 10% of bodyweight is nothing for an life-long wrestler. He can likely cut that weight just through diet and electrolyte manipulation without ever stepping into a sauna.
