In the main event of the UFC on Fox 4 event, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua put on a great performance against Brandon Vera. Rua came close to finishing the bout on numerous occasions, but Vera was able to fend off “Shogun.” The end of the contest came in the fourth round as Rua was finally able to put away Vera.
The bout was action-packed and was the perfect send-off to the best card that’s aired on Fox thus far. Fans were anticipating a muay Thai battle but instead were treated a MMA fight that featured every aspect of this great sport.
“Shogun” earned the victory and showed a few new weapons in his arsenal but also showcased some of the negatives we’ve come to expect when Rua steps into the Octagon.
