Two days after beating Randy Couture (at UFC 102), Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira could go back to Brazil and relax, but he decided to stay in the US to help Junior dos Santos in his training to fight Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, at UFC 103. In exclusive interview to TATAME.com, Nogueira shows a lot of confidence.
“He’s training well… He’s like monster, like a horse... He has a very heavy hand, he’s ready to do two fights in the same night. It’s unbelievable, he’s with a good ground game and wrestling too”, praises Rodrigo, joking about his return to the octagon.
“I wanna fight this year again… If someone gets hurt in UFC 103, I wanna fight there too (laughs)”, said Minotauro, revealing that he trained with Dos Santos on Monday, two days after his last fight. “I trained with Cigano after the fight, but i cut my stitches so I realized that I really have to stop for a while (laughs). Now I’m gonna rest”.
Besides Junior, Vitor Belfort will also fight in the card, and Minotauro is confident in another Brazilian victory. “Rich is a tough guy, very resistant, but Vitor has more punch, is better on wrestling, has more ground game… He has everything to win”, finished Rodrigo Nogueira.
