Combat Rewind, April 23: ‘Shogun’ stops ‘Rampage’ with soccer kicks in PRIDE grand prix

Check out the best highlights from this day in history with MMA Junkie’s “Combat Rewind.”

There’s “Flashback Friday” and “Throwback Thursday” (and Tuesday, too, if you want). But at MMA Junkie, we figured why not expand that to every day?

“Combat Rewind” brings you some of combat sports’ best highlights from every calendar day of the year. It’s a look back at history, courtesy of the UFC Fight Pass archives, featuring stellar finishes and classic moments in MMA and beyond on their anniversaries.

Today’s highlights feature “Shogun” Rua getting revenge against “Rampage” Jackson by breaking his ribs and ending their 2005 PRIDE middleweight grand prix fight with soccer kicks. Also that night, Alistair Overeem submitted Vitor Belfort with a guillotine choke.

So kick back and relive the following bits of greatness in the video above:
