UFC President, Dana White has denied that reports that a fight between Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and former Light Heavyweight champion, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson would be going down later this year, adding nothing has been decided yet.
Speaking at the UFC 116 pre-fight press conference, Dana said:
“It’s not true, we don’t have anything set up yet. With that division right now, Little Nog could fight Rampage, Rampage could fight Machida. There’s a lot of fights we could make and we haven’t made any decisions on that fight. We’re looking at all of them. Time-wise, Rampage is still promoting the [A-Team] movie overseas, so we’re trying to figure out what the next fight will be.”
Although nothing has been made official yet this fight will most likely happen after Jackson lost his comeback fight against rival Rashad Evans at UFC 114. Nogueira won his fight with Jason Brilz on that same night, although many people believed Brilz had earned the decision victory.
