Forrest Griffin vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira Likely for UFC 113
Earlier reports indicated that a matchup of light heavyweights Forrest Griffin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira would likely take place sometime this spring. Reports from today indicate that the fight will likely happen at UFC 113 in Montreal. Both fighters have agreed to the fight and are waiting to finalize the contracts.
Griffin and Nogueira both fought in November on the card of UFC 106. Griffin won a split-decision over Tito Ortiz in the main event, while Nogueira dominated and finished light heavyweight contender Luiz Cane in the first round. The fight was Nogueira’s first in the UFC after amassing a 17-3 record in promotions such as PRIDE and Affliction.
UFC 113 is scheduled to take place May 8th in Montreal, Canada, and features a main event rematch between Lyoto Machida and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua for the UFC light heavyweight championship. Also on the card is a matchup of top welterweights between Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley, and a rumored matchup of Kimbo Slice against Matt Mitrione.
