Shogun set for UFC debut against Griffin

by Jeff Gorman

UFC president Dana White announced yesterday that Mauricio “Shogun” Rua would make his UFC debut on Sept. 22 against Forrest Griffin in Anaheim, Calif.

Rua, a 201-pound Brazilian fighter, is 16-2 and has won his last four fights for PRIDE. Another PRIDE competitor, Dan Henderson, will debut in UFC earlier in the month.

Griffin (14-4) is from Athens, Ga., and he is coming off a unanimous decision win over Hector Ramirez at UFC 72: Victory on June 16.
