Surging light heavyweight and UFC sophomore Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (18-3) has officially agreed to throw hands with hot-and-cold cage veteran Brandon Vera (11-4) at UFC 109: "Relentless" from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Feb. 6.

 

Nogueira -- the younger (by seven seconds) twin brother of UFC heavyweight contender Rodrigo "Minotauro" -- recently agreed to a multi-fight deal with the organization. "Lil' Nog" made his debut a memorable one, stopping fast-rising prospect Luis Cane via technical knockout for the first time in "Banha's" career.

 

The win was "Minotoro's" sixth straight.

 

In addition to pounding out Edwin "Babyface" DeWees at Affliction: "Banned" in July of 2008, Nogueira got his much sought-after revenge on Vladimir Matyushenko by knocking out "The Janitor" in the second round of their 2002 rematch at Affliction: "Day of Reckoning" this past January.

 

A convincing win over Vera could put him at the top of a very short list of 205-pound title contenders.

 

Star-divide

 

"The Truth" thought the judges were lying when they announced Randy Couture the winner of their UFC 105 match on Nov. 14. Vera was confident he had done more (and more damage) during his battle with "The Natural" in Manchester but it wasn't to be for the former heavyweight.

 

Prior to the Couture scrap, Vera last saw action at UFC 102 back on August 29 in Portland, battering former TUF contestant Krzysztof Soszynski on the main card en route to a judges decision.

 

If he can do the same to Nogueira, it will go a long way in reestablishing him as a force in the light heavyweight division.

 

UFC 109 is expected to feature a light heavyweight battle between elder statesmen Randy "The Natural" Couture and Mark "The Hammer" Coleman. Aging UFC welterweights Matt Serra and Frank Trigg are also slated to hook 'em up.

Little Nog vs Vera? interesting

[kuya willie]

Sana matulog si Vera, mula ng natalo sya kay Tim Sylvia, bumaho na yung laro nya, lumipat na lang sya ng strikeforce at baka dun pa sya magchampion, di nya kaya ang competition dyan sa UFC

 

 

anyways si Hendo nasa strikeforce na pala, sayang naman gus2 ko pa naman mag rematch sila ni Spider

[kuya willie]

The rivalry between Tito & Chuck continues:

 

LIDDELL AND ORTIZ TO COACH TUF SEASON 11

 

wala naman kelangan patunayan si Iceman eh, 2-0 na sya kay ortiz! wala ng maisip si Dana White, bakit di na lang si Shogun at Lyoto ang gawing coach, tapos ramatch na uli sila

The Penn-Sanchez match-up is a match-up wherein it's difficult to pick a winner. BJ should take it to the ground if he wants to increase his chances of winning coz Diego has the advantage in striking.

I'm not quite sure if diego does have any advantage in striking. IMO both diego and penn have boxing as their striking base and BJ IMO has the crisper jabs and is the more technical boxer of the two. Remember the Koscheck - Sanchez fight? Diego clearly got outclassed in boxing then by Koscheck.

 

That being said... BJ still is better off bringing Sanchez to the ground where he has an even bigger advantage over the former TUF winner.

[berserker15]

wala naman kelangan patunayan si Iceman eh, 2-0 na sya kay ortiz! wala ng maisip si Dana White, bakit di na lang si Shogun at Lyoto ang gawing coach, tapos ramatch na uli sila

 

Shogun at Lyoto ac coaches? Malabo mangyari yun. Unless na lang gusto ng mga Americans na manood ng The Ultimate Fighter ng may mga subtitles. At laging may kasama tranalator si Dana White and yung mga aspiring UFC fighters.

[overman]

it has been a while since the last time i posted here

 

my pics for the main event Pen and Mir... i also pic ken flo...

 

I'm looking forward to noguera vs. vera.. no matter what people say or how vera has been performing in his last few fights I would NEVER bet against a fellow Filipino.. siguro bababaan ko nalang pusta..

 

Should Lil nog win his next few fights and assuming lyoto wins his (which he will) will the two fight? both of them are black house fighters... hmmmm I don't think so.. lil nog will want a noguera rua 2 as shogun won via a close decision againast lil nog in pride

[crunk]

Not yet finalize:

 

Lyoto Machida and Mauricio Rua are having a rematch for the Light-heavyweight Championship. At UFC 104 the two fought to a unanimous decision for Lyoto Machida, with the scores of 48-47, 48-47, 48-47. The decision was hotly contested by fans, media and UFC employees alike. The rematch is scheduled for May 1, 2010 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada.

nothing's for sure pa...

Brock is diagnosed with Diverculitis. Had "minor surgery" daw for it.

Pero may additional issues pa daw eh...

Wala pa decision si Dana White bout sa heavy title...

malamang next year na yun
