'Shogun' Rua expects war in rematch with 'Lil' Nog' at UFC 190: 'A brawl is inevitable'

"Shogun" and "Minotouro" Nogueira promise to repeat their historic Pride battle at UFC 190.

Ten years ago, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Antonio Rogerio "Minotouro" Nogueira delivered one of the best fights in history at Pride Critical Countdown 2005. It was a back and forth slugfest that Rua ultimately won on points. This Saturday, both men are set to meet again in a battle of TUF coaches, and promised to put on another instant classic.

Shogun and "Lil Nog" served as opposing coaches for the latest installment of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil and will square off in Saturday's co-main event, right after the two final fights of the season.
