i got Cro Cop by KO after a highly exciting fight.
Wandy is not the same fighter as Shogun, and was picked apart for it. Wandy comes fowards, swinging crazy power. his mindset is to come foward and overwhelm
Shogun is much more methodical in his mind game, and although he has a similar gameplan, his standup is more technical, he likes to wait for the knockdown or solid shot, and then attack.
overwhelming forward movement alone, no matter how technical, isnt the right strategy, simply because he wont be overwhelmed.
while pressing the action against him has been proven effective by Hunt and Fedor, it will take much more then that to win the fight. you have to be either invincible (Hunt), or able to neutralize his game by closing the distance and look for the takedown/throw like Fedor. he is easily big enough to shake off a clinch with Shogun, and i think he would end up punishing him spectacularly.
