I predict Lyoto will win this fight. Lyoto is more of a technical striker very patient and times his opponent to make mistake and attacks. hence this is the reason why i think he will dominate if not win the fight via tko or knock out. As for Rua, a Muay Thai practitioner that is more agressive. I doubt that shogun can take Lyoto down he will be chasing him around the octagon. I am a fan of both so its very hard for me to choose, but in reality I thing lyoto will come out still the chamion in this war.
