Nogueira Wants a Mir Rematch, Rampage Off UFC 107 Card

- According to Dave Meltzer, Quinton Jackson is confirmed to be out of UFC 107 in Memphis, Tennessee. There is no new date for the bout with Rashad Evans to take place. The reason for the change is that Rampage took the role of BA Baracus in the new A-Team movie.

- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira recently spoke with MMA Weekly stating that he would like to have a rematch with Frank Mir after hearing Mir’s comments about him following UFC 102.

“If I was making excuses, I would have been making excuses right after the fight. I’m not making excuses, I’m giving you a reason.” Noguiera continued, “If Mir feels it’s an excuse, then lets get in the Octagon and see whether it’s an excuse or a reason in December and settle it, I’d love to fight Frank Mir at UFC 107.”

Mir however is expected to face Kongo at UFC 107 on December 12 in Memphis, Tennessee, although it is not confirmed and that may change given the fact that the main event of Rashad Evans vs. Rampage Jackson may be off so Jackson can be in the A-Team movie.
