Shogun Rua shrugs off age difference ahead of Craig rematch: ‘I’ve never been this well’

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua is ready to erase all doubt regarding who is superior when he meets Paul Craig for the second time at UFC 255. Although the pair fought to a split draw in their November 2019 bout, ‘Shogun’ believes he did enough to earn the nod and plans to prove he’s the better fighter in the rematch.

In an interview with Combate, Shogun explained how he learned from the first fight and plans not to be surprised in any department this time around. Despite acknowledging Craig’s strong suits, Rua still believes he has the skills to beat the Scot.
