Shogun Rua news update comes from the fighter himself as he speaks up about the recent carjacking incident he was involved in where he recounted all the events that unfolded during that fateful night.

Shogun Rua news update was released as the fighter recently spoke to MMA Fighting where he also let out his frustrations on the Brazilian government's capabilities to keep its countrymen safe from harm.

"I was doing a photoshoot with José Aldo for Venum, and a friend of mine, Pixote, drove me there," Rua narrated. "After that, we picked up Eduardo and Demian at their hotel in Barra da Tijuca and went to dinner at a restaurant. We watched the UFC and then left them at their hotel."

"Pixote was taking me back to Niteroi, and when we were about to get to the Rio-Niteroi bridge, a car stopped in front of us and four men jumped out of it with guns. There was nothing we could have done," he continued.

Shogun Rua news update further revealed his frustrations on the Brazilian government's efforts on securing its people from such danger, mainly pointing out that authorities should not only focus on boosting up security because of the upcoming World Cup festivities.

"It's going to be safe during the World Cup, with more cops and army in the streets, but then what? And what about the rest of our lives? It's going to be like it is today?" he lamented.

"There's no point of doing a special plan during the World Cup and then it's over. We pay taxes to have security the whole year, not only for a month during the World Cup," Shogun added.

Shogun Rua has lived in Brazil for a great majority of his lifetime, but his disturbances towards his own government are highly evident. He continues to air out his disturbances towards how the country gives more priority on the World Cup.

"In a country like Brazil, when you have major issues to solve as violence and health care, the government spends money with sports," Rua said. "They don't use the money correctly in Brazil.

"Rio and Sao Paulo are the most dangerous cities, but the whole country is dangerous. But what impressed me the most in this situation was that they were using rifles," he added.
