Former UFC and PRIDE champion, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira says he’s 100 percent ready for his upcoming showdown with Cain Velasquez later this month at UFC 110 in Sydney, Australia, as well as eyeing a rematch against the last man to defeat him, Frank Mir.
Speaking via the BleacherReport.com, Nogueira said:
“I’m very excited for the fight. Wherever it goes, I’ll be ready. If he takes me down, we’re going for submissions. My jiu-jitsu will be 100 percent. King Mo is one the best wrestlers in America. We do a lot of single leg and double leg defense. I have a very good camp here. If I [win and rematch Frank] Mir, it will be different. I’ll be in better shape and no injuries. I don’t like how Mir talks. I come from jiu-jitsu. I come from martial arts. I train hard, and I respect my opponent. I will never say anything bad about my opponent. My opponent works hard so that’s my way. I don’t think he shows respect. I think I could fight until 37. I’m in really good shape. I’ll fight until my body tells me I can’t. I feel good. I’m going to do the best show possible.”
Nogueira will be right in the mix if he manages to do what no man has done before and defeat the Mexican phenom in Australia. A possible fight against the winner of the Mir/Carwin fight could lay ahead if champion, Brock Lesnar is kept out longer than expected and I can guess who Nogueira will be routing for
When this fight was first made, i and many others thought this would be a bad match-up for Cain, and that his wrestling would play straight into the hands of Nog. But after watching Rashad and Sonnen in their last fights, i think Cain can take this by UD.
