- MMAWeekly recently spoke with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, who wants big fights, including a UFC title shot…

“I like big fights like that. I’ll be ready if they gave me a good opponent. It would be my pleasure, but if they gave me a title shot, it would be awesome.”

- As far as how he matches up with the current champion Brock Lesnar, Nogueira stated…

“A lot of jiu-jitsu and good standing up, make him tired man, move around, move around. When I get his timing, hit him with a good right hand and box him, box him and get him tired.”

- He also discussed his experience advantage…

“I’m kind of calm. I can listen to my coach. I’ve been in there a long time. I can see what’s going on. I have more experience than him. That’s a big advantage I have. If he goes on the top into my guard, I can play with him. Let’s see, let’s see what is going to happen.”
