Fighters Only Magazine - The World's Greatest MMA Magazine - News - Dana: Shogun out till spring or summer 2011 (http://www.fightersonlymagazine.co.uk/news/viewarticle.php?id=5145)

UFC light-heavyweight champion Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua (19-4) could be out of action until as late as summer 2011, according to company president Dana White.

White appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter show today and confirmed two title fights: Chael Sonnen’s rematch with Anderson Silva and Rashad Evan’s (15-1-1) shot against Rua. But he also said that Rua will not be returning until spring at the earliest.

"We did this [surgery] in the United States with the best doctor in the country," White said. "He's recovering well, and we're looking for mid-spring, early-summer."

Rua had his left knee operated on in June following damage sustained in the fight against Lyoto Machida in May and the training camp that preceded it. Rua’s knees have long been a problem and it is the third time in his UFC tenure alone that they have been operated on.

Prior to this latest operation, he had surgery following his loss to Forrest Griffin on his UFC debut and then again within six months, putting him out of a meeting with Chuck Liddell at UFC 85 in London, England.
