No hes right, i remember a year or so ago they were talking about how the youngest Rua had started training MMA, and his nickname definately was not Baby. I dont think it was Shaolin either, but it was definately something Japanese and bad ass. I wanted to say Ronin when i first saw this thread, but i dont think thats right either.

doesn't make sense anyways. shaolin is a chinese nickname and shogun and ninja are japanese.

samurai?? maybe???

I heard he was being called shaolin or samurai, something like that. interesting prospect, hopefully he keeps up with the other brothers and makes a name for himself.

EDIT: Ronin's a good one too.

what does the website have to do with anonymous people who come here to post on the forums? should they have spelling police who kick you off? it does get on my nerves sometimes but then again i don't put everything in capital letters either.
