My Reaction to the fightIt would be a nice fight if Shogun was kinda well condition and fit. Based on the fight that I saw shogun was like fat and slow. He was like tired and exhausted in the first round of the fight. That was not the moves that I saw from the champion on his last fights. He is big, strong and quick. Shogun could just take Jones down easily if he really wanted to. With Shogun's force he can dominate Jones in an instant.
But based on the fight he shown were in he lost his title shogun was not himself. Slow and predictable moves with no power in it. He couldn't even create simple and basic head movements and evasions.
