Mauricio "Shogun" Rua injured again and will need Surgery!!

The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Tuesday announced that Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, who had been scheduled to make his return to the Octagon against Chuck Liddell, has re-injured his left ACL.

“I’ve never seen Shogun so motivated for a fight like this in years,” said Rua spokesman Eduardo Alonso. “This was like a new beginning for him.”

Liddell’s opponent for UFC 85, which will be held at London’s O2 Arena on June 7th, will be announced shortly. As for Rua, he promises to be back and better than ever as soon as possible.

“He thanks his fans for all the support,” said Alonso. “It means a lot to him.”

Hope it's not career threatening.

Twice in 6 months, he should take the next year off!

Brutal I'm really hoping this isn't an injury that plagues him for his career, he's too talented to get taken out by this.

He should. Thats why you do not fight when you have torn muscles. I played hockey with a torn aducter, and I still feel it.

how horrible :(

i definitely hope too this isn't a career ender. it would be sad to never see him fight again. and i don't want to wait to see once he's better but hopefully he does take extra time off to keep healing after the initial recovery so it's stronger, i'd be happy to wait a little longer to see him keep fighting for years :D
