Shogun looking to make a name in the US off Forrest

Well known in Japan and in mixed martial arts circles, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua is looking to make a huge impression on the mainstream UFC fans with a win tonight over Forrest Griffin. “I have watched a lot of UFC fights but I have never watched a live show so it will be interesting, but Forrest is very good, great endurance, very tough and he makes a fight very exciting”, Shogun told the Press Telegram. “Many people don’t know me in the U.S. but once I beat Forrest, they will recognize me.”
