Impressive how Shogun got out of the crucifix and then the choke and now is back to his feet. I think he can still win it but it'll be tough. He needs to be on top and get a submission. Though of course it's much easier said than done.

If Palhares couldn't get Hendo to submit to a heel hook Shogun can't do it.

Yeah Shogun isn't going to get him with a leg lock he hasn't gotten close to it Dan keeps slipping out. This is the most heart Shogun has ever shown in a fight though I think. Win or lose this really proves that he is still one of the best, just like Hendo is.

This fight might have just knocked Griffin/Bonnar from the top of the all-time-greatest list.  Good Lord.
