Former Pride FC star Antonio Rogerio “Lil Nog” Nogueira shared his thoughts on his upcoming bout against the undefeated UFC light heavyweight prospect and The Ultimate Fighter season 8 winner Ryan “Darth” Bader at UFC 119 this coming weekend at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“I’ve got less than one year in UFC and got many things to do there. There are many good people, many guys who has showed their value inside the Octagon, but I’m on my way for sure with short steps but I want to keep myself undefeated if God blesses me. Ryan Bader is a very strong man, very good at wrestling and really has good qualities. He’s very quick, intelligent, complete. And can apply takedowns and use a good ground and pound on the ground. I will guarantee that the fight keeps stand up, but if it goes to the mat it will develop well and I think that he will find a good leg defense with me.” “Lil Nog” said via Video interview (Youtube)
