UFC 119 Preview: Light Heavyweight bout – Antônio Rogério Nogueira vs. Ryan Bader
Antônio Rogério Nogueira will fight against Ryan Bader at UFC 119. These two fighters will be a big part of the event that will take place on the 25th of September. Each of these fighters has had great success to this point in their careers.
Rogerio Nogueira, UFC lines favorite, is the more experienced of the two fighters. Nogueira has fought more than twenty fights in his MMA career and he has managed to win 19 of the 22 bouts that he has taken part in to this point of his career. He has not fought much in the UFC to this point though, and that is where many people find their downfall. He has fought just two UFC fights to this point, but he has performed very well in each of them.
Ryan Bader has only fought half as many fights in his career, but nobody doubts the talent that he has. He has never lost a professional fight to this point in his career and has won all four of his UFC matches. He has hopes to use this potential victory to get closer to the title.
Nogueira has been on fire as of late, winning 7 fights in a row. He will have all of his skills tested against Bader, who got his big name by winning “The Ultimate Fighter 8.”
Nogueira has been in two great fights to this point, winning a “Knockout of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” award in his two fights. He looks like he will be taking part in another solid matchup as these two fighters square off.
