Second it's not the same Shogun Hit rampage with a knee and broke his ribs
all coleman did was grab shogun's ankle and shogun put his arm out Coleman wasn't manhadling him and in fact got caught in two submissions .
If Coleman would've slammed Shogun and broken his arm ok
If Coleman kicked Shogun and broke either his arm or ribs and the ref stopped the fight ok
If Coleman hit Shogun in anyway or doing anything that had the potential to hurt Shogun ( for example the Wandy vs Sakuraba pride 17 i would understand sense Wandy slammed him but Coleman didn't do anything to beat Shogun

So Just stop hating on Shogun it's becoming to old quick everyone keeps doing it until someone beats the pride Shogun since his first loss was in his 4th fight 2nd of the night against Babalu a guy who had gone against Liddell and Fedor. And no one has really even come close to beating Shogun since his first lose so back off.
Beside Fedor and Big Nog No one in the MMA World can come near Shogun
1) I like to think Coleman is alot better at ground and pound than tito is. I'm starting to think its the only thing they train at hammer house.

2)of course its the same. both are injuries acquired in the fight directly by something the opponent did. what it seems like you are saying that if someone gets beat up for the entire fight then catches someone in a submission they should not get the win. should we take away a few of Nogs wins? what about the people the get dominated the entire fight but recover and get a one punch knockout? should we take those wins away? it doesn't matter what happens during the fight, its the last few seconds that decide the outcome(unless it goes to decision, then of course it is the entire fight)

3) i am not hating on Shogun, i am looking at this objectively without bias.if you are going to make up little rules on why someone shouldn't have won then you have to apply them to everyone.

Man thats not what im trying to say all im saying is that the fight ended in a freak accident I'm not trying to take Coleman's win away but when you look at Shogun's career you shouldn't use that loss against him as a reason he's not the #1 LHW. So my point is that Coleman won but like Fedor's early lose by a cut when you are arguing Shogun's career this fight shouldn't be used against him because it was a freak accident.

And BTW im more than willing to admit that Shogun lost to Babalu and that was a fight i would say Shogun was winning and lost by submission in the 3rd round

i'm not judging his entire career on one loss either. would be retarded to do something like that to any fighter.

Either am I. And I also never said Coleman would have ended up winning. But how do any of us know? He very well could have ended up winning. Nobody knows.

And BTW, there's a difference between "getting caught in 2 submissions" and "escaping from 2 submission attempts". It doesn't matter if he just "used his brute strength", if that's what works then that's what works. Lots and lots of fighters use brute strength to escape from submissions. It's nothing out of the ordinary and it's not unfair like you're making it sound.

Every fight ends with a freak accident in some way shape or form. It wasn't a freak accident in terms of a giant bird came swooping in to the arena carrying a rock in its mouth and came flying towards Shogun at 80 mph and rammed right into his arm. He made the choice to run away, Coleman put him in a bad position that he could have avoided, and he used a falling technique that you're not supposed to use. It was all his fault. Anything can be called a freak accident if you say it like that. Every KO punch can be considered a freak accident. It's not like people ever get KOed on purpose, they are all accidents and the results of mistakes. Same as Shogun breaking his arm. Same as Rampage breaking his ribs.

No offense, but what would make you think that? When has Shogun ever showed he can hang with A level strikers? (lil Nog, I'll give him that one, wasn't exactly a standup war though) When has he ever showed he possesses enough power behind his strikes to end a fight with them? By this logic, it would make more sense to say Allistair Overeem could beat Fedor if it stayed on their feet. Overeem completely mauled Shogun on their feet twice.

Shogun is not a great striker, because his punches are sloppy as hell. His game is the ground, but he can work the clinch well. He can also hit those wonky kicks, but his bread and butter is his GnP. Fedor would just throw him if Shogun tried to clinch with him. Not a good fight for Shogun.
