Antonio Rogerio Nogueira did not like the idea of fighting against Luis Cane, but tells Tatame.com he does not expect him to be predictable when they meet up at UFC 106.

“We don’t know how it’s gonna be, fight is fight, we have to be trained for everything, as on the ground, boxing and muay thai… It’s gonna be good“, said Nogueira, who already defeated athletes like Dan Henderson, Alistair Overeem and Kazushi Sakuraba. “Cane is not naive, he won’t make a predictable game“, bets, ready to debut on November 21.”

Nogueira also expects the winner of this fight to be in contention for a title shot, which could have him meeting up against his teammate Lyoto Machida.

“This fight is important and the guys will consider the winner as a possible contender“, Nogueira said. But the fighter doesn’t think about that. “I didn’t hear none of this, and Lyoto went under surgery now and might fight just in about six months“, said.

Anyone else a little confused that Rogerio does not want to fight Cane, but seems OK with fighting Machida who is his teammate?
