Kevin Burns: Shogun wins decisively.
Luigi Fioravanti: Shogun by submission or TKO.
Jaime Fletcher: I think this fight should be interesting. Nothing motivates a fighter like a fight they feel like they should have won. I think Shogun is more dynamic in everything except for wrestling and strength. Coleman is OG and I love the dude like family, but I’m thinking Rua comes back on point hungry and looking to solidify himself in the 205-pound division again. I think Shogun wins by TKO or submission (in the) first round unless Coleman can put him on his back and pound him out.
Cung Le: Shogun by TKO.
Shannon Gugerty: Shogun by murder!
James Zikic: Both fighters have been inactive for a long spell. It'll be interesting to see how Shogun reacts after the tough loss to Forrest. What will his mental state be like? I predict Coleman to pull off another upset!
Din Thomas: I gotta love Coleman for his loyalty and passion to the game, but I think he’s seen his better days. I think Rua may be too much. Rua by TKO.
Jeff Sherwood/Sherdog.com - Coleman is a huge underdogaccording to the pros.
Kit Cope: In a cage especially, Coleman should dominate Shogun. Age is the only factor that should come into play against Mark, but education and technology trumps that these days.
Shawn Tompkins: Mark Coleman is going to be too much for Shogun. Second round TKO.
Mike Whitehead: Shogun by TKO. John Hackleman: Shogun by knees.
Pete Sell: Shogun by KO.
Joe Stevenson: Well, I’m going for Mark because he’s my friend. And on top of that, unless Shogun shows me some improvement from his last fight and just comes out on fire, I just see a big size difference and the ability to slow the action for Mark. The cage is (going to be) his advantage.
Nick Thompson: Coleman via freak injury … that or Shogun by anything else.
Zac George: If Coleman stands, he gets hurt, and if he becomes a blanket on the ground, he gets tapped.
Jamie Varner: Shogun by TKO.
Gabe Ruediger: EHHH, who cares? I kid, I kid! Shogun should win this. Coleman has wrestling but hasn’t adapted or learned any other portion of fighting, whereas Shogun has good standup and ground.
James Thompson: Coleman looks well, and I think suits light heavyweight better. But (I’m) going with Shogun as he’s a lot more well rounded.
Stephane Vigneault: I see Shogun getting his redemption and finishing Coleman with a TKO in round three. I think this time Shogun is gonna be in top shape.
Jonathan Goulet: Shogun all the way via KO in the third round.
Randy Couture: If Coleman has the gas to be aggressive in all three rounds, he’ll win with his ground-and-pound style. If he dumps his load in the first, Rua will win.
Rick Roufus: Rua will keep backing up. Coleman will try taking him down and ground-and-pound him and lay on him. Rua by strikes.
Jason Lambert: Shogun by KO.
Patrick Cote: I think Shogun will win this one! The first time it was just bad luck, and if he is 100 percent, he will win before the third round.
