Report: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira meets Jared Cannonier at UFC Norfolk

Fully healed from a cervical injury that removed him from UFC Fight Night 112, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will now return at UFC Fight Night 120 to take on Jared Cannonier, as Combate reported.

The 41-year-old Nogueira (22-8, 5-5 UFC) will try to bounce back from a TKO loss suffered by the hands of Ryan Bader in November 2016. His last win was a TKO victory over Patrick Cummins in May 2016. Nogueira hasn’t won two fights in a row since he defeated Tito Ortiz in 2011 and Rashad Evans in 2013.
