Despite suffering a broken arm in his most recent fight, former UFC
interim heavyweight and PRIDE champ Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will not
undergo corrective surgery.
The UFC today announced that Nogueira will instead
wear an adjustable plastic brace and undergo twice-daily, 20-minute
sessions of ultrasound therapy as his broken right humerus heals.
The fighter is expected to recover “in no more than” nine months,
according to a doctor he saw Monday in Los Angeles, UFC officials said.
