Anderson will be in attendance for UFC 190 says Big Nog

While he waits for his meeting with the Nevada Athletic Commission, Anderson Silva will come down to Brazil for UFC 190. The former middleweight champion is expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro this Thursday, as his friend and training partner, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, revealed to Combate.

"I have been talking to Anderson, he arrives today. He couldn't come on Tuesday due to personal issues, but we will have dinner together tonight and he will watch the fights and be with us."

Big Nog also talked about how so many of Anderson's friends will be fighting on the card and how much it means he came down to support them all.
