People in MMA Who Annoy Me More Than Mike Goldberg: Fans of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua

Except for this one guy.  But other than that, they really do.
Now that I have got that one little stickler of a point out of the way, I will make my own personal disclaimer so as to avoid any future misunderstanding.  I am a Lyoto Machida fan.  I will be vigorously rooting for him [...]
