To the surprise of no one, #1 seed Shogun Rua blew through Forrest Griffin with ease. The #5 seeded Griffin was no match for Shogun, falling by a dominant score of 38-7. Shogun takes the last spot in the Elite 8, and once again, he does it with no effort.
Today, the Elite 8 begins, and our first member of the Final Four is named. The stakes are high, which means the match-ups are only going to get tougher. That starts right now. #1 Chuck Liddell vs. #2 Dan Henderson. Former UFC champion vs. former (and final) PRIDE champion. Can the H-Bomb get it done and pull off the upset?
