Fighter Info
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
Without a doubt, Mauricio Rua is one of the most aggressive fighters in the world. With a will to win and non-stop energy, this Chute Boxe fighter is 100% offense from the opening bell. From high kicks to knees, strikes to stomps, Rua is the total package and a virtual KO Machine. This Brazilian is the younger brother of PRIDE stand out Murilo Rua. Together they are better known by their nicknames ... "Shogun" for Mauricio and "Ninja" for Murilo. In addition to training with his brother, "Shogun" also routinely trains with legendary PRIDE champion Wanderlei Silva, which explains the similarity in aggressive styles. One of the youngest fighters in PRIDE, "Shogun" is now looking to make his mark!

Kazuhiro Nakamura
Kazuhiro Nakamura represents the Yoshida Dojo and is the protege of Judo legend and 1992 Judo Olympic gold medallist, Hidehiko Yoshida. A black belt under Yoshida, Nakamura is very well respected in the Judo community in his own right and, like his teacher, has chosen to display his Judo skills in the arena of mixed martial arts. In order to prepare himself and balance his fighting abilities, Nakamura has been cross training primarily in boxing. However, perhaps his greatest advantage as a competitor is his calm demeanor ... Nakamura claims he is never nervous before a match.
