Shogun Rua, once regarded the best light heavyweight on the planet, blitzed his foe early and paid a heavy price, going stiff when he was hit with a counter left hook clean across the chin. And while the referee didn’t immediately step in, Ovince St. Preux gave him no real chance to recover. It took all of 34 seconds to come to the crushing realization that Shogun will simply never be the fighter he once was. He’s now lost four of his last five fights and was knocked out in the last two.
