UFC 255 is an interesting card this coming Saturday for many reasons.
First, both the men’s and women’s flyweight titles will be on the line live from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on pay-per-view.
But the card also features the return of former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. One of the all-time legends in the sport for his style and battles, Rua’s days are likely getting shorter and shorter.
