UFC 134 – Rashad Evans says Forrest Griffin has no fear of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua heading into rematch

Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Rashad Evans believes Forrest Griffin has no fear of his UFC 134 opponent, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua ahead of their rematch this weekend in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, explaining he expects the resident of Las Vegas to pick up right where he left off four years ago.
Speaking via Tapout Radio, Evans said:

“There’s something that happens in a fight sometimes, and the way Forrest beat him the first time, he took a piece of him with him. And when you take a piece of somebody with you…well, Shogun recognizes that. I think they might pick up right where they left off, because there’s no fear. That’s gone.”

“You know, Forrest is going to go in there, and Forrest is going to push the pace. Let’s be honest here. Shogun does not have the best conditioning. I think that was a problem in their first fight, and I think it’s going to be a problem in this second fight.”

Injury has stifled “The Ultimate Fighter” winner in the past couple of years but he has been able to pick up wins over another couple of former champions in the form of Tito Ortiz and Rich Franklin.
