Which of the following fighters would Pride's uncrowned MW Champion and MWGP Champion have the most trouble with?

Due to recent trolling on other threads about UFC Ultimate Fighter winners beating shogun to a pulp claims, i just wanted to get everyones opinion

I said Rampage, I don't understand why people would say Tito. Rampage has fought better fighters over the course of his career, he is stronger, a better wrestler and striker than Tito as well.

I think the next few fights for Quinton will be important. He seems to finally have his **** together with a good camp, I look forward to the rematch with Shogun, as long as Quinton avoids the clinch.
I generally would have gone with Rampage, but I think Tito will be able to control Shogun better. I don't see Shogun stopping the take downs and I don't see him having an answer to the g&p.

I'm not trying to disrespect Tito here, he just may be the toughest opponent for Shogun, but isn't arona's game a bit like Ortizes (exept for Titos massive more resilent head)? They both have strong takedowns, good GnP, subs etc. And Shogun could roll his way up rather easily! To this day no1 has been able to control Shogun on the ground (i actually think he started out as a BJJ guy).

Man none of them will give Shogun any trouble Chuck would give Shogun the most trouble and Shogun will KO him in round 4.
Thiago Silva will give Shogun the most trouble because I can't think of anyone else.
only five round fights in the title fights...what about hendo and wanderlei?

Tito. Next, Rampage. You need a good ground game against Shogun.

Why do people hate on tito so much? Dont doubt him bc he lost twice to chuck. He's still a great fighter. I guarantee people will start liking him again after he has two straight wins.

Look at all the chuck haters popping up after he lost one fight.

My bad i've been saying Shogun 4th round KO so long i forgot. Maybe a decision but Chuck seems to look like he will wind early so maybe 3rd round KO or Sub
He'd kill Hendo since they are about even on stand up and Shogun is better on the ground.
If he fought Wanderlei right now He would win because Wanderlei striking matches up bad against Shogun and Shogun would kill Wandy on the ground.
