Prediction: correct Rua   wrong Decision  

I think we see a vintage form of Rua, and he wins by decision.  Should be a good fight though, and I wouldn't be all that surprised if Forrest Griffin came out and shined either.

Prediction: correct Rua   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Rua will not show up out of shape to a fight in front of his countrymen. I hope the rumors concerning him being injured aren't true.

Actually that's a good point, he should be in shape, unless he is injured.

Prediction: correct Rua   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

This is what I found about the rumor.

"Tatame.com has contacted Rua’s manager, who silenced those rumors. “His knee is absolutely perfect, there’s no injury,” said Rua’s manager Eduardo Alonso. “I don’t know where people take that from. He’s training hard, following the training scheduled with Rafael Cordeiro, Renato Babalu [Sobral] and all the team…He’s very excited [for] this fight.”"

Hopefully, it really is an unfounded rumor.

@Soccerkick: Agreed.  I like Forest, but I like Shogun more.  I would like to see Shogun make a statement and in devastating fashion.

Prediction: correct Rua   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

My heart says Forrest but my head says Shogun. He lost to Griffin before and this is the first UFC in Brazil in the new era of MMA, I think Shogun will be on a mission. If Forrest wins though I'll be happy for him, I still love him.

I think Shogun is going to show up ready to fight at his best.  He'll find Forrest's chin early and get the TKO.

I think Forrest can validate that win. It'll be close, and I don't see anyone getting finished this time.

I actually think Griifin has the advantage on the ground, I think Shogun will catch Forrest standing tough and get the TKO.
