MMA legend and the only man to hold the Heavyweight Championship belt in both PRIDE and the UFC, is likely to be the next in line for the current title after Shane Carwin faces Brock Lesnar at UFC 116.

Inside Fights has confirmed a Wrestling Observer Newsletter report that Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will face the winner of the Brock Lesnar/Shane Carwin fight.

Big Nog, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has impressively defeated Randy Couture, and requested a rematch w/ Frank Mir, BUT it is shaping up that he’s the top contender for the belt after this upcoming heavyweight title fight.

Nogueira is one of few fighters to take Fedor all rounds (including a 10 minute first round) to a decision. The Dragon Zone will soon be posting that classic battle.

Stay Tuned!

We create our own perceptions in life and we can either embrace those or work to change them. He seems to have embraced the villain role and is actually making money from being that way. His fans feel the need to defend his “actions” that create the perceptions but he will need to change his actions. If he does that he may not make as much money.

Brock is an entertainer. I am a fighter. We jsut have different lives.

The two have been talking heavy smack ever since!

In regards to Kimbo Slice. My personal prediction, I bet Dream gets him in Japan for a “Super Hulk” style tournament, and pits him against Bob Sapp — for name’s sake. That’s just my gut feeling.
