Former light heavyweight champ Mauricio “Shogun” Rua was stopped by Paul Craig in the second round of their rematch at UFC 255 on Saturday.
At 38 years old, Rua’s finest combating days lag him. He’s no longer the Shogun that won the 2005 PRIDE Middleweight Grand Prix. He’s not the very same Shogun that won the UFC title in2010
UFC president Dana White would like to see the legend hang up the gloves.
” I hope that tonight is his last night. I want to see him retire,” White said during the UFC 255 Post-fight Press Conference.

Rua’s accomplished everything there is to achieve in combined martial arts. He’s been through wars. His UFC 139 battle versus Dan Henderson was inducted in the UFC Hall of Fame Battle Wing.
White believes that it’s time for Rua to retire.
” Shogun didn’t look like Shogun to me this evening. Shogun looked old and looked like a shell of his former self tonight. I wish to see him hang it up ideally,” White stated.
” I think he has 2 fights left on his offer, however I wish to see him retire.”.
