Is Shogun Rua the Greatest Light Heavyweight in MMA History
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010
The 205 lb or light heavyweight division has been the most stacked weight class in the sport of mixed martial arts for quite some time.
There have been all-time greats such as Randy Couture and Mark Coleman who have competed in this vaunted division, as well as newcomers such as Rashad Evans, Shogun Rua, and Lyoto Machida who have dominated the division as of late.
Ranking a top-10 of all-time at this division is beyond difficult, even ranking a current top-10 is hard enough to rank. "This fighter beat this fighter, but he beat this guy, and this one beat him too," seems to be the common theme when putting a nail on ...
