Rumor: Shogun vs Lil Nog 2

At UFC 161 June in Brazil.

Also on this card will be:

Werdum vs Nog
Vitor vs Rockhold
Tuf Brazil 2 Finale

Solid fight. Their first one was pretty damn good.

Love this card.

About time.

Gonna be a good ufc

I thought before the Brazilians didn't want to fight Brazilians in the main fights in Brazil? Glad they got over that. Some great fights.

It's like a Pride Card almost. If injury bugs enough, get Wand in there against Vitor.

Yeah Wand...or Melvin.

It's looks like Vitor vs Rockhold is not on this card. It will be a fx card on 4/18.




Shogun vs Lil is all but confirmed though-

"UFC president Dana White isn't about to get in the way of a rematch between Mauricio Rua (21-7) and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (21-5). The pair first faced off in the quarter-finals of the 2005 Pride middeweight grand prix, with Shogun winning by decision in a classic. "Lil Nog" had previously expressed his desire to coach opposite his coutryman on a series of The Ultimate Fighter. Now, after his win against Rashad Evans (17-3), it seems Nogueira is still eager to avenge the loss. White said he thought Shogun vs Evans made more sense, but he had no problems with the rematch. See the full video courtesy of Fighters Only.

"(Shogun vs Evans) is a fight, yeah. That is a fight that could happen, yeah. But I keep hearing this thing that Nogueira and Shogun want to fight each other, they want to do the rematch. I don't know how that makes sense for Nogueira, but that's what they want, that's what I'm hearing they want. Far be it from me to not give somebody what they want."

Oh well, Pride still never die though

You sure you have that date right? There is that SF vs UFC card on 4/20.

Think he meant 5/18. That's what I just saw on Twitter

Makes sense. I figured either that or he meant the 4/20 card.
