BE’s Baddest: Shogun Rua is the greatest Light Heavyweight of all time

Shogun is the GOAT.
At least, that’s what you, the Bloody Elbow readers have determined, as Mauricio Rua defeated Chuck Liddell to take a win in the finals of the BE’s Baddest tournament. Shogun had no issues at all with Liddell, winning by a wide margin, 42-11.
Shogun’s run through the tournament was impressive indeed, as despite that low score, Chuck actually had the 2nd highest point total against Rua, and was one of only two men to get votes in the double digits. Shogun was simply dominant in all fights. Except one.
That one was the controversial Jon Jones semifinal. Jones seemed like a lock to win this, but during the tournament itself he failed a test (again), was stripped of his title (again), and finally, for a significant number of you readers, his legacy inside the cage was no longer enough to overcome his issues outside. Not every reader was happy about it, but, well, democracy.
