Antonio Rogerio Nogueira talks about his rematch against Mauricio Rua and how a win would be important for his career at this point.
A rematch 10 years in the making, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira dropped a unanimous decision to Mauricio Rua back at the Pride 2005 Middleweight Grand Prix quarterfinal in a fight considered the best of the year.
Since then, many fans wanted to see the pair squaring off again in the following years, and though they have been scheduled to fight before, the match has yet to take place. But at UFC 190, they will have a chance to do it again, and as far as Nogueira is concerned being paired as an opposing coach to Shogun on the fourth season of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil reignited that spark.
