In a recent interview, Chuck Liddell said that, if Mauricio "Shogun" Rua comes to the fight against him like he faced Mark Coleman (UFC 93), the Brazilian will be defeated. Without waste of time, Shogun come back to Brazil work for the tough fight, that happens at UFC 97, in Montreal, Canada. In exclusive interview with TATAME.com, Shogun said that he went to Las Vegas, where he met his friend Wanderlei Silva, who has also faced Liddell.

"I have to be well trained and focused to face him, and that is what I'm doing. Wanderlei is a great friend. I was in Las Vegas for a week and we spoke a lot. He said that Liddell is a good fighter, beats heavy, but said that, if I go to the fight focused and with gas, I will win this fight", said Shogun, who also spoke about his preparation for the battle, the fight between Wanderlei Silva and Rich Franklin and his victory over Mark Coleman.
