Mauricio “Shogun” Rua will make his return to the octagon at UFC 134 against Forrest Griffin. This is a rematch of their fight from UFC 76, where Griffin defeated Shogun by rear naked choke late in the third round.
Bad Boy was given the opportunity to follow Shogun through his training camp for UFC 134. In this training camp he returned to legendary muay thai coach Rafael Cordeiro, as well as worked with his primary sparring partner Joao Paulo “Tuba” de Souza and the Kings MMA crew.
