Mauricio “Shogun” Rua expresses an interest in fighting on a future UFC card in London, England

Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua has publically stated that he’d happily compete on a future card in London, England after enjoying the experience this weekend when he cornered his brother on the BAMMA 6 card at Wembley Arena.
Speaking via ESPN.co.uk “Shogun” said:
“I’m very happy to be in London. I’ve been to London many times, my brother has fought for Cage Rage many times and I’m very happy to be in London. I hope to fight over here because London has many MMA fans. And the UFC is very popular here in London. It would make me very happy.”
Rua faces a tough test next time out when he goes head-to-head with another former champion in the form of Forrest Griffin at UFC 134 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a fighter who already holds a submission win over him from his octagon debut. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as we get it.
