Nog, Nog… Who’s there?
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (aka “Minotauro,” aka “Big Nog“) let slip during today’s UFC 102 media conference call that his twin brother, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (aka “Minotoro,” aka “Little Nog“), is joining the ranks of the UFC light heavyweight division and will make his octagon debut this fall.
Little Nog is a PRIDE FC, Sengoku and Affliction veteran with an impressive record of 17-3 and has notched wins over the likes of Kazushi Sakuraba, Dan Henderson and Alistair Overeem.
Smart move by the UFC, making the light heavyweight division a little more stacked. If Lyoto Machida wants to keep his belt the UFC’s not going to make it easy for him, and that means good fights for us fans.

Great addition. As I commented on facebook on the Mousasi vid you posted, the only thing bad about this signing is (along with Matyushenko) all the guys that Strikeforce could sign to even give a challenge to Mousasi are being gathered up by the UFC. I like Bobby Southworth, one of my favs from TUF 1, but if they fight Mousasi will wreck him.
