MMAWeekly.com is reporting that Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will take on Cain Velazquez at UFC 108. Three words: What a matchup!
To date, Velazquez has demonstrated awesome cardio and wrestling. But Nogueira, a man that's extremely comfortable off of his back, will offer a much different problem for the up and coming UFC fighter. Namely, great submissions from the guard.
Kongo had almost no chance of submitting Velazquez when they fought and everyone saw the result. The same thing with Ben Rothwell. In other words, we're either about to find out how good Velazquez's submission defense is or how good his striking skills are. In this fight, it's going to be pick your poison.
Looking forward to it.
