Former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua named the three toughest opponents he has crossed paths with in the octagon.

"Jon Jones is a very versatile and smart guy. Dan Henderson, who is very tough and hits very hard. Finally, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira is very versatile, good at boxing. I've been through three 'wars' with him," Rua told AG Fight.

The 39-year-old "Shogun" had his last fight in November, losing by technical knockout to Paul Craig.
