Lyoto Machida Says It Wasn’t “Minotauro” Noguiera’s Day

Dana White Confident Cain Velasquez Ready to Face Elite Competition
When the UFC announced that Cain Velasquez would fight former UFC interim champ Antonio “Minotauro” Nogueira, there weren’t many people out there saying WTF?

Cain Velasquez and Jon Fitch Debate the Guard’s Mortality

Nog’s Trainer Questions Lesnar’s Cardio

Nogueira Feels Vindicated By “Good Show”
Clearly, talk of the “Minotauro’s” demise was premature, as not only did Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira nearly stop Randy Couture on a couple of occasions during their instant classic last night, the Brazilian legend appeared to be ready to go another round if it had been necessary. So, in other words, based off Nog’s performance, it [...]
Couture Signs Six Fight Extension With UFC
Despite coming out on the short end in his Unanimous Decision loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102 last night, (a bout which was so exciting, our usual chicken wing consumption was cut in half) Randy Couture has no plans of retiring.
