‘Other’ Nogueira Possibly Headed to UFC
Jake Rossen Aug 19, 2009
In some non-news news, Antonio
Rodrigo Nogueira told listeners plugged into a UFC conference
call Tuesday that
twin brother Rogerio might be due for an Octagon debut sometime
soon. Sherdog.com checked with Rogerio, who claimed he still had a
9/12 appointment in Brazil to keep with onetime “Brazilian Killa”
Alex
Stiebling.
If the 205-pound Rogerio concludes a deal, the UFC would be only one Gegard Mousasi short of locking down the entire light-heavyweight division, which would make that title belt possibly the most cohesive and valuable in the entire sport, as every other division has at least a few strays in Japan or elsewhere. It would be one of the few instances in this universe where “undisputed” actually means what it implies.
