Barboza has looked awesome but Pearson is a tough guy, if he can KO Pearson then he will be on the right track.

Just noticed @bass comment about Barboza not standing a chance against top20 competition... I think you are very mistaken!

I think Barboza has the striking to hang with anyone at 155...We haven't seen any ground skills that I can recall yet so those damn pesky wrestlers at the top of the division could give him problems!

I think he has all the potential in the world.  Purple belt is quite an accomplishment in it's own right.

Yea purple belt is right. He trains with some awesome grapplers like Pablo Popovitch, Vagner Rocha, and Roberto Abreu so his jiu-jitsu should be pretty good. He also said he's been doing some training with Rashad and the Blackzilians at Imperial Athletics for his wrestling. He's got a bright future.

Not on eBay, I'd probably sell it to somebody on here. It's not about money, but I'd rather have money than a shirt signed by a fighter that I'm not a fan of.

It would be pretty hard to put a value on it though.  Not a lot of signed things for sale from the UFC, but what I could do is check out how much a signature of shogun's is worth on the UFC trading card(s) and you could go from there.  I would definately keep the shirt, frame it up in some glass and hang it on a wall.
