The UFC Light-Heavyweight division has experienced a sudden resurgence as of late, with the return of Jon Jones, as well as the emergence of new contenders such as Thiago Santos, Anthony Smith, Dominick Reyes and Johnny Walker. However, somewhere in the mix, you always happen to find the name of one Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua.

The former UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion has suffered several brutal beat-downs over the course of his career, but still somehow manages to dust himself off and move forward. Shogun suffered a brutal KO loss to Anthony Smith, but got back on track with a come-from-behind TKO win over Tyson Pedro.

Regardless, both of his aforementioned fights that took place in 2018 saw Shogun take a considerable amount of damage. At this point in his career, he'd be better-suited dealing with more of a grappling-based matchup -- something Shogun will find in abundance at ONE Championship.
