What's wrong with Shogun's shoulder?
There’s a reason fighters retire at a young age, and its not just the loss of edge in speed and explosiveness that the onset of age engenders. Wear and tear is a big factor in ending careers as the days and years of training take their toll on body parts that are being used and abused far in excess of what nature intended for them.
Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua is one of those fighters that seems to have slowed a bit in recent years. He’s still having thrilling wars but he seems to have lost a bit of his athletic edge and his cardiovascular fitness isn’t the best - he certainly isn’t doing triathlons for fun like Nick Diaz is. But something about him caught my eye at the weekend’s UFC on FOX 4 event that makes me wonder of there is a definite physical factor at play:
My personal guess is that he’s suffered a bad separated shoulder at some point. Most medical facilities grade a shoulder separation - where the clavicle becomes detached - from I to III. The Grade III separations almost always require surgery to correct but event a Grade I leaves a noticeable lump on the shoulder (I had a Grade II years ago and I have a visible ‘half egg’ lump over my left clavicle).
If it is the legacy of a separated shoulder then its a very debilitating thing to train with. Post-separation shoulders fatigue easily, re-injure easily and often get very, very sore in grappling situations. Obviously there is no way to say Shogun is experiencing any of that - and I wouldn’t expect him to admit it publicly if he was - but I do wonder if his cardio issues might be caused in part by his shoulder limiting the amount of grappling and wrestling and he can do.
Update - Shogun apparently did suffer a broken collarbone recently. According to the Brazilian sports site UOL:
“Shogun suffered a lesion in the right shoulder of the eight weeks before the match [with Dan Henderson at UFC 139] in San Jose. He dislocated his collarbone and partially tore a ligament in place, which in addition to delaying its preparation, delayed by about a month the start of practice to meet Henderson.”
“With the problem, Shogun came to having to keep the shoulder immobilized and even get an official commitment in disguise. In the first conference with Henderson on the 27th of September, the Brazilian appeared with a bandage on his hand. The "strategy" was to appear without wearing a sling to avoid the affected region being targeted [in the fight].”

Tangerang District Court judges sentenced Muhamad "Oleng" Sholeh to death on Tuesday for masterminding the rape and murder of a female student at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) in Ciputat, South Tangerang. The panel of judges also sentenced five accomplices in the crime to 20 years in jail each. "Based on the facts revealed before the court, the main defendant is proven guilty of having masterminded the rape and premeditated murder of Izzun Nahdiyah by involving his five friends in the crime," presiding judge Machri Hendra said as he read out the verdict.The judges said that the defendants鈥?deed was inhuman. The fact that the defendants had shown no remorse for their crimes and gave misleading testimony during their {keyword} trials had thwarted the possibility of mitigating the punishment, Machri {keyword} said.The prosecutors had earlier proposed capital punishment for Oleng and life sentences for Endang, Jasrip, Chandra, Nurip and Sukija.Prosecutor Hartono had {keyword} charged the defendants with violating Article 340 of the Criminal Code on premeditated murder and Article 285 on violent rape, which carry maximum sentences of the death penalty and life in prison.Defendant Oleng, who in a previous session ran amok and stepped on the Koran before the court after prosecutors read out the demands, was speechless after the judges read out the verdict.Oleng said after the trial that he would appeal with a higher court. "I did not rape . I just killed . They are not seeking justice, just seeking a way to punish me. I had repeatedly requested to prove my innocence but it was never granted," he said.Defense lawyer Ferdinand Montororing said that he regretted the court鈥檚 verdict because the panel of judges only referred to the police dossiers in making their decision, rather than the facts that were revealed during the trial. Oleng was unemployed, but reportedly had an active social life, attending community gatherings and participating in sports, he said. According to the victim鈥檚 family, Oleng offered to help fix Izzun鈥檚 laptop and asked her for money. On April 6, Izzun came to Oleng鈥檚 place to pick up the laptop, which he sold. Oleng told the court that he was annoyed by Izzun鈥檚 persistence in getting her laptop back, so he forced her to swallow several painkiller tablets with a soft drink to render her unconscious.The police revealed that Oleng and his friends then took turns raping Izzun before taking her to Legok, Tangerang, where they slit her throat and dumped her body on Jl. Pemda DKI.
