Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will return at UFC 83. Who he will fight is yet to be revealed, but we'll try to shed some light on the subject.

At Cage Rage 24, Murilo "Ninja" Rua defeated Xavier Foupa-Pokam to move to an impressive 3-0 in Cage Rage events. In his corner was his younger brother, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, who has made a huge impact on the entire sport of MMA. After the event, Shogun revealed to the press and to fans that he would be returning to the Octogan at UFC 83. No opponent has been named.

Shogun's next fight will either make him or break him. Chuck Liddell lost two in a row recently, and he's been dropped out of the title picture for awhile (he's dropped to the number 8 Light Heavyweight in the world according to our rankings). Mirko Cro Cop lost two in a row, and he's completely out of the title picture. Shogun had a ton of build up for his UFC debut, and fans were sent home wondering what had happened to him. But if Shogun losses his second fight, then people will really start to question his spot in the top 5 Light Heavyweights.

Although an opponent hasn't been named, according to Shogun's management there is a strong possibility of him fighting Tito Ortiz. Although this is currently just a name being thrown around, rumors often come true. This fight would get a ridiculous amount of ppv buys, and it would boost either fighter's status a great amount. If this fight does happen, I'd bet that Big Bear and Chute Boxe would be constantly in session. This actually would be a really good opportunity for Tito Ortiz to get back in the discussion for a title fight. If he defeated Shogun and then won his next fight or two, then he would have to be considered for a title shot. Either way, I think that Shogun would be too much for Tito to handle and that Shogun would put himself back in the title picture.
