UFC 140: Tito Ortiz vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in Light Heavyweight Bout

Tito Ortiz was able to revive his MMA career with an upset win for the ages against Ryan Bader last July – and it looked as if Ortiz was finally healthy and back in the mix in the UFC Light Heavyweight division.

A month later, though, he stepped into the Octagon against the No.1 ranked contender Rashad Evans to save a pay-per-view main event, and, despite fighting gallantly, Ortiz showed that he was no longer at the top of the Light Heavyweight heap.

Now only a gatekeeper at best, Ortiz takes on “Little Nog” Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 140 and will once again need a win to remain relevant within the division. As the underdog, action on Ortiz on theMMA odds at the Bodog Sportsbook has a good chance to pay out if the former UFC Light Heavyweight champ decides to do what he does best and outwrestle his Brazilian opponent for a decision win. Ortiz has stated publicly that he wants to put on exciting fights, so the wrestling scenario may not play out.

Nogueira will step into the Octagon as the odds-on favorite despite losing his last two fights. The Brazilian will look to use his boxing skills to win a decision or to wear down Ortiz enough to use his jiu-jitsu skills to finish the “Huntington Beach Bad Boy”.

This fight has definite upset potential, especially if Ortiz can close the distance and work close enough to Nogueira to negate his boxing skills. Despite being a black belt in jiu-jitsu Nogueira will have a tough time submitting a fighter with the experience of a Tito Ortiz without wearing him down first.

Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira and Frank Mir will face again at UFC 140. The two have fought each other, particularly at UFC 92, Frank Mir fight in which he won by TKO. However, after the fight, Nogueira said he had a physical problem that prevented him from being at its best. Therefore, this is a fight that will serve as revenge or to confirm that Mir is better or to prove that Nogueira's defeat was due only to your physical condition at the time.

The news was confirmed by the Minotaur, on his Twitter.

"Confirmed, I will fight Frank Mir at UFC in Montreal, Canada. That's it, guys! I have the support of all. Let's keep that same energy. "Minotaur said on Twitter.

UFC 140 will be held on December 10 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The night's main card airs on pay-per-view.

Lyoto Machida train with Anderson Silva for UFC 140

Lyoto Machida will have great help in training for his fight for the title of the UFC when he meets Jon Jones at UFC 140. Machida revealed to train with Anderson Silva, which has a similar style to the unpredictable 205-pound champion. This is what I commented Machida: Lyoto Machida:

"Anderson called me and told me to go to my hometown (Belem), and I expected there to help me train. In Belem local fans received me very well. I just was fighting a legend in Randy Couture and in December I want to give a great show for my fans."

"It's hard to say, but I think I have a little advantage over Jones when it comes to experience. I have to beat him with my techniques."

Many critics and fans have argued that the style of Jon Jones is very similar to Anderson, but Jones is not Silva. In fact it can be argued that due to the incredible wrestling and brutal ground and pound Jones, this presents a conundrum completely different and possibly more dangerous.

Jon Jones talks about the fight we have against Machida this Saturday

Jon Jones gives his comment on what will be his fight against Lyoto Machida this Saturday December 10th at UFC 140. These are the comments made:

'Minotauro' Nogueira and Rogeiro: warrior blood brothers at UFC 140

The Nogueira brothers share the undercard of UFC 140 on December 10 in Toronto, Canada, in what will be one of the most anticipated events of the year. Two world-renowned veterans in a relatively young sport. Pioneers when venturing into lands hitherto unexplored, these brothers made a brilliant career in the now defunct Pride Fighting Championship.

The story of Rodrigo · ¨ Nogueira Minotauro is a self-improvement, effort and courage. At four years old, went into the martial arts of judo's hand until he suffered a terrible accident that nearly ended his life. Minotaur was hit by a truck, being in a coma for twenty days, with many of their organs involved and a poor prognosis. After eleven months in the hospital, Rodrigo walk again.

Rogerio Nogueira, Little Nog or ¨ ¨ As many know him, has had to live under the shadow of his brother for several years, despite having made a brilliant career with wins over Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Guy Mezger and Alistair Overeem (in twice). Roger has competed in the Olympic boxing team, earning the gold medal for his country at the 2006 Pan American Games. On the night of December 10, Rogerio face another veteran: Tito Ortiz on the urgent need to win after two straight losses:

· Training has been great. I'm very confident. I think it will be a great evening and go for the knockout. Try to give a good show because the last time I did not either. I am better trained this time. I know all about the game that Tito Ortiz suggests, I should have fought him for some time. I've been studying their movements for nearly a year · Roger explains.

In a different reality, Minotaur will have the chance to face Frank Mir again after that fateful December night in 2008 when it was knocked out for the first time in his career. The Brazilian will want to take off this thorn with a victory to ratify what was done in his native country this summer. After the knee and hip surgeries, Rodrigo seems to have found its best. In his last loss to Mir, Nogueira was the victim of an infection, which affected him in the face of their preparation for the fight. Mir will try to show that his first win was not the result of physical decline of his rival, but on its own merits and abilities inside the Octagon. As expressed in more than one occasion, the U.S. hopes that there is no excuse once · ¨.

The two fights will coestelares family and Nogueira team competing and supporting each other. Usually these two fighters are very dear to the public, but its rivals are also popular door and also former champions in search of new opportunities. Something seems safe as almost always happens in fights involving the name Nogueira, it promises excitement and intensity.

On Saturday 10 Minotouro Minotaur and we will see in action before you see another Brazilian again, Lyoto Machida title fight against the feeling that it is Jon Jones. Will Brazilian night?

Tito Ortiz, Mexican-American soldier returns to the Octagon UFC

One of the great questions of UFC 140 in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday December 10 is the performance of former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz against Brazilian Antonio Rogerio "Minotouro" Nogueira.

Tito is coming off a TKO in the second assault against Rashad Evans in Philadelphia in August and if we add his last five fights only has one win, the knockout surprise that Ryan Bader gave him in Las Vegas on July 2 in the UFC 132.

Losses to Lyoto Machida, Forrest Griffin and Matt Hamill Bader preceded his triumph over when it seemed that the Mexican-American fighter had no gunpowder in his arsenal.

His career (01/09/17) is rich in achievements and the history of the UFC's light heavyweight champion has been most often successfully defend his title with five wins. Precisely the main event of UFC 140 is for the championship of that division between Jon "Bones" Jones and Lyoto Machida.

This fighter originally from Huntington Beach, California, came to the UFC in 1997 and in 2000 was crowned champion after beating Brazil unanimous decision over Wanderlei Silva. Thereafter, successfully defended his title five times until it fell in 2003 with Randy Couture, another legend of MMA.

After 15 years of career in this sport, Tito is remembered for his explosive personality, his strong comments and his peculiar way of selling his fights with his opponents, but he is also remembered for his fight against Ken Shamrock, Chuck Liddell, Vitor Belfort and Forrest Griffin, among others.

Like any good fighter, won some, lost others. He won, lost to champions. He knocked and knocked out. He talked a lot and shut up.

A symbol of his career is that every time he walks into the octagon wearing a flag on one side is the American and the other Mexican. And that's your mix, is its origin, is its brand. Every time I speak of her Mexican heritage, by his father, Tito will light up eyes and appreciated the support of their fans.

It is clear that the end of his glorious career is near. Your age and yields force him to think about retirement, but it is also clear that the times that fit going to fight, Tito Ortiz will entertain fans of the sport and leave everything in the effort.

Either Spanish or English, even in two languages, Tito is an immortal of the game and when you hang up the gloves its destination must be the Hall of Fame UFC, his home, his nest, his permanent inn.

For all those memories, thanks champ!

There we see.
