RUMOR: Shogun To Face Coleman In December

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua has recently stated that a fight between himself and Mark Coleman may happen in December.

Rua, who is currently recovering from knee surgery, has expressed a desire to face Coleman since Coleman defeated him in a Pride event via broken arm. Rua also suggested that Coleman has turned down a rematch on several occasions.

The fight will take place in December, giving both Shogun and Coleman time to recover from their recent injuries. The fight is expected to take place at Shogun's natural weight of 205, as Coleman recently expressed a desire to drop down from heavyweight to light heavyweight.

On a side note, Shogun's new training centre, UDL (Universidade da Luta), has opened this week. Shogun runs this training facility along with his brother, Murilo "Ninja" Rua.
