Antonio Rogerio Nogueira gets a new opponent you’ve never heard of

It didn’t take long for the UFC to find a replacement for the injured Forrest Griffin, who had to pull out of his UFC 114 bout with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. And no, it’s not Jon Jones, which would be a great test for both fighters except he’s already booked to face Vladimir Matyushenko at UFC on Versus 2 in August. Instead, Little Nog will face Jason Brilz. Who? Exactly. He’s got an 18-2-1 record, including 3-1 in the UFC but no notable victories. Expect that trend to continue against the Brazilian. Too bad there isn’t any more notable light heavyweight out there to make the fight a fight, ya know?
