According to an unconfirmed report on sportsnet.ca, Brendan Schaub and Antonio “Minotauro” Nogueira have verbally agreed to a fight at UFC 134.
Brendan Schaub (8-1) is currently on a four-fight winning streak. In his last fight, he knocked out one of the best heavyweight strikers of all time, Mirko Cro Cop.
Prior to that, he won a unanimous decision over one-time title challenger, Gabriel Gonzaga.
Minotauro Nogueira (32-6-1 [1 NC]) hasn’t been in the Octagon since suffering his first knockout loss at the hands of current heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez, back in February of 2010.
Nogueira is a legend who has been around this sport for more than a decade. Nogueira has had wars with some of the best in MMA, such as Fedor Emelianenko, Randy Couture, Fabricio Werdum and many, many more.
Schaub had been lobbying hard for this fight, and he wanted the chance to add another legend’s name to his resume. He asked to go into Brazil and fight a fan favorite in Nogueira.
We can only hope that he gets what he wants, because this fight would be incredible.
