Satronaden Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 If Shogun Rua and Georges St-Pierre fought in a Openweight fight who do you think would win and why? I think Shogun would win because of the size and weight difference his TDD defence would be solid enough to stop GSP from taking Shogun down and grappling with him. Shogun would most likely win by relentlessly attacking and pressuring GSP until he hurt and dropped him and finishing it off by Shogun hammerfisting GSP on the ground until he is KO'd. Shogun Rua by KO Shogun Rua (20-5) 6"1 205 lbs Georges St-Pierre (22-2) 5"10 170 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOvereem Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Weird match up lol, but I'll play along and predict that GSP would win, as much as I hate to say it, no way would Shogun stop his takedowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimatefightingchamp Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Either Shogun by murder or GSP by LnP But I think Shogun would eventually hit him with a knee or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaricBob Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Shogun Rua's TDD % is 12. GSP's takedown % is 77. Shogun isn't really known as a brutally strong LHW. That alone makes me lean towards GSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobster Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 like many have pointed out, Shogun would not be able to stop the takedown. lets get serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobster Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 but, I think if it went the distance, gsp takes it. if it doesn't, well, that's GSP laying on the canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCFMRE Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Shogun has horrible takedown defense so I think GSP would be able to take him down with ease. Shogun's size and length and advantage could prove difficult for GSP but I think GSP would be too fast for him and if he didn't have to cut weight GSP could be significantly closer to Shogun's size. Shogun could catch him but I think GSP wins by UD as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waikru Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Size matters, so I will go with Shogun. Wrestling a guy thats 35 lbs heavier than you is completely different than wrestling guys that are the same weight as yourself, so I dont think GSPs advantage in wrestling will be huge factor.

Epilogue1406051983 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Rua... GSP's got strong wrestling but I think Shogun's sweeps would get him back to his feet... add the size difference on top of that and GSP would be lights out in the 2nd...

UCFMRE Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 LoL typical GSP fanboy. Actually I don't like GSP at all. I just have to respect his skill set and the fact that GSP's biggest strength is Shogun's biggest weakness. Maybe I'm just not as enamored with Shogun as many people on here are.
