I want to warn the Rampage that, with the UFC authorizing it, I will fight with him whenever he wants, whenever he wants and whenever he wants”, said Shogun, who also assured that he will continue training with his former Chute Boxe teammate Rafael Cordeiro at “ King's MMA” for his next fights.

Furthermore, Maurício Rua also commented on his duel with Minotouro and said he was not bothered by the boos that echoed in the HSBC Arena after the announcement of the official result. “It was a tough fight, Minotouro is a very tough guy and has very good boxing. And people want to see a beating, right? And I think there were a lot of Team Nogueira guys here too, so they booed. But I was happy with the victory, and thank God I beat a tough opponent who is Minotouro and, therefore, the booing didn't bother me, quite the opposite”, he highlighted.
