Brothers, twins and UFC employees, Rodrigo Minotauro and Rogério MInotouro will see action on the same evening. That looks to be the case at Ultimate Fighting Championship 119 in Indianapolis.
Rodrigo Minotauro, who’s coming off a loss to Cain Velasquez, will have a rematch with Frank Mir, who is also coming off a negative result. The fighters faced off at UFC 92. Rodrigo fought physically debilitated and Mir, who had nothing to do with his opponent’s state, knocked the Brazilian out.
Now Minotouro faces the undefeated Ryan Bader, who has an unblemished 11-fight record. The matchups have not yet been made official, but UFC president Dana White confirmed them to MMAFighting.com.
Check out the likely card:
Frank Mir vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Ryan Bader vs Antonio Rogério Nogueira
Evan Dunham vs Sean Sherk
Melvin Guillard vs Jeremy Stephens
C.B. Dollaway vs Joe Doerksen
