“Shogun” Recovering From Knee Surgery

From Sherdog:
Mauricio Rua is recovering in Brazil after surgery a few weeks ago on his knee.
“The surgery was very quick, lasted 50 minutes, was quiet,” Rua told Sherdog.com. “Now I hope for healing and I think here in about two months I can return to training slowly, very cautiously.”
The Brazilian light heavyweight ruptured the ACL in his left knee while preparing at his academy for a bout against Chuck Liddell. “Shogun” said he had tried to explode into a maneuver while training with Vitor Miranda, and his knee moved strangely.
Rua is expected to return to the octagon in the fall.











Dude is done he has blow out both knees in 18 months…i don’t see how he will ever be the same fighter
was it both knees? I thought it was the same knee
I don’t like his face !
I would love to see Rampage vs Shogun 2 !!!!!!
I agree Eddy! It’s hard to fight at the level he was fighting at and be as good as he was after having to come back from 2 bad knee injuries like that. It will be interesting to see how he performs in his first fight back.
Sean both knees
no it was the same knee fellas sorry
even if its the same knee no more flying kicks
