I had seen this photo at MMAWeekly.com but it was a much smaller picture and not quite as striking. When BloodyElbow.com posted it in full size on their site, it really caught my eye. There is so much to be said about this photo with a young fighter like Jon Jones excited about getting a title shot, and the older veteran Mauricio “Shogun” Rua eyeing up his next opponent.
Rua said “I’m a professional.” Sure looks like he’s all business to me.
