Shogun : “I keep fighting because I love it.”
Looks like Shogun still has his drive for the belt following his loss to Chael Sonnen. Only the second time he has ever lost two fights in a row.

“I have 11 years in MMA and Vale Tudo, I won everything I always wanted,” Rua stated in a press release. “I achieved everything I dreamed, but I want to do that again. I still want many victories; I still want to become the world champion again. Who decides when I will stop (fighting) or not is myself, no one else. Thank God I’m financially stable, and I keep fighting because I love it.”
“I’m a really competitive guy, who hates to be defeated,” he said. “I know I did everything I should have done during my preparation, but Sonnen was better on the fight. Unfortunately, in the fight (business), we have to wait a lot to return and bounce back. In soccer, you lose on Sunday and win on Wednesday, everything is ok. I’ll get back home, see what went wrong on the fight and train hard to make sure that mistake won’t happen again.”
