Shogun was so young in that bout and put up a great fight. In the rematch he takes it imo.

Shogun has become a blackbelt since their fight. The only chance Babalu had on the ground is gone. Shogun has a lot more experience since the fight.

Shogun by GnP.

I agree, in a rematch, shogun wins. However, I will say if for some strange reason this rematch happens, you've gotta feel bad for Babalu. The UFC will look like they were out to ruin his career.
