‘Shogun’ Rua Says He Is Prepared For Ovince St. Preux’s Ground & Pound Attack

News

Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua says he is prepared for Ovince St. Preux on Saturday.

The pair will clash at UFC Fight Night in Uberlandia, Brazil and although St. Preux replaced Jimi Manuwa on just a few days’ notice, that doesn’t mean that Shogun is taking him lightly.

“He always tries to go for the ground and pound, but I trained for every situation,” Rua told the media in Uberlandia. “He may try to lay and pray, hold me on the ground, but I have trained this with my team.”
