"TUF is going to be important to showcase Brazilian MMA in the US, show them how we train united. I showed them that when I was TUF coach and Cigano will show the same. We’ll be going to visit him, me and Anderson, but Cigano is a guy who already knows how to teach, he already teaches. He’ll know how to show the techniques and show why he’s one of the best in the world. As for Lesnar, he doesn’t kick, so Cigano will not need to train too much defensive Muay Thai, as he was training for Cain, he can now rely more on training offensive Muay Thai. And this is the type of fight where he’ll look for the KO, train a lot of wrestling, train the guard because he could end up falling underneath (Lesnar), even though Lesnar’s GnP is not as good as Cain’s. But (Cigano) will look for the KO in this fight."

MMA legend and elder statesman Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira expects his star pupil and newly-assigned Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 13 Coach Junior dos Santos to be on the offensive when he faces former champion and opposing TUF Coach Brock Lesnar after wrapping the upcoming season of the Spike TV reality show. The great unknown heading into their pay-per-view headliner is whether or not "Cigano's" takedown defense is good enough to repel the wrestling of the former NCAA champion. Will the Brazilian knock him out before it even becomes a factor?
