Nogueira wants rematch with Shogun

Brazilian fighter Rogerio Nogueira admits he would like a rematch with Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua.

The two clashed at Pride several years ago, a fight that Nogueira lost.

But as both fighters are now under the UFC umbrella they could have a rematch.

Nogueira told Tatame: “I would like to have the fight with Shogun again. Shogun is a great fighter, a great champion and he was in the best stage of his career till today.

“He has his merits, at the end of the fight I tried to take his back… If I had finished the fight there at his back, I would have been able to change the story of the fight.”
