"My team Anderson Silva, two people from my team are going to be fighting on the same day and because this is a fight in Rio, I can't miss it. I can't miss this opportunity to fight in Brazil. I've never fought in Brazil before in my entire career, my career of almost 40 fights. I've never had the opportunity to fight here so I could miss this opportunity, couldn't let it go by so I really dedicated myself in physical therapy. I'm coming from three surgeries on my knees and hip, actually one on each leg and I worked much, much harder to speed up this recovery process. As a good Brazilian, I love Brazil and I'd like to fight at least once here."
-- Believe it or not, 40-fight mixed martial arts legend and former champion,
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, will fight in his native Brazil for the first time in his professional career when he takes on
Brendan Schaub at
UFC 134
