			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FAIRFAX, Va. – While Rafael dos Anjos had struggled to just a 1-2 record in his previous three UFC outings, he looked absolutely unstoppable at Tuesday&#8217;s UFC on FUEL TV 3 event at Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va.</p>
<p>The Brazilian used a stunning high kick and impressive submission skills en route to a first-round win over the always tough Kamal Shalorus.</p>
<p>The lightweight bout was the third of six Facebook-streamed preliminary contests and preceded the evening&#8217;s FUEL TV-broadcast main card.</p>
<p>The two stood firm in the pocket in the early going, each willing to trade shots in striking exchanges. Shalorus, a lifelong wrestler, quickly turned to his bread and butter, but dos Anjos shucked off the takedown attempt and quickly countered with a thunderous high kick to the face. Shalorus took the full brunt of the blow and crumbled to the deck.</p>
<p>Sensing the opportunity for a quick finish, dos Anjos jumped on the floor and look first for a bit of ground and pound before settling on a rear-naked choke. The transition was slick and the technique smoothly applied, and &#8220;Prince of Persia&#8221; was forced to tap just 100 seconds into the fight.</p>
<p>&#8220;My game plan was to keep the fight standing and seek opportunity,&#8221; dos Anjos said following the win. &#8220;I landed the good high kick and then got his back and submitted him. I trained a lot for this fight and that was the gameplan: to finish the fight as soon as possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the win, dos Anjos (16-6 MMA, 5-4 UFC) improves to 2-2 in his past four fights. Shalorus (7-3-2 MMA, 0-3 UFC), a former WEC standout, has now dropped three-straight UFC fights and may risk losing his spot in the promotion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FAIRFAX, Va. – After an unsuccessful first attempt at a UFC win, Johnny Eduardo made good on his second walk into the octagon.</p>
<p>Using crisp Muay Thai, including an impressive array of powerful leg strikes, Eduardo cruised to a decision win over longtime veteran Jeff Curran.</p>
<p>The bantamweight bout was the second of six Facebook-streamed preliminary contests and preceded the evening&#8217;s FUEL TV-broadcast main card.</p>
<p>The opening round was contested at a methodical pace, but it was Eduardo who appeared to do enough to take the frame, scoring with snapping leg kicks throughout the period. With Curran&#8217;s leg visibly damaged from the rapid strikes, Eduardo also began to land with his hands, as well.</p>
<p>It was more of the same in the second. Curran attempted to open up with his own striking attack, but the Eduardo leg kicks were unquestionably the more effective blows. A few attempts from &#8220;The Big Frog&#8221; to bring the fight to the floor were unsuccessful, and he was forced to play Eduardo&#8217;s game throughout the round yet again.</p>
<p>The pattern continued in the final frame until an odd moment less than two minutes in when Eduardo claimed a Curran punch poked him in the eye. Referee Rick McCoy did not see the infraction and ordered the fighters to carry on. The moment brought some excitement to what was otherwise a methodical bout, but Curran could not capitalize on the opportunity.<br />
In the end, the winner was clear, and Eduardo was awarded a decision victory. If there was a criticism of the performance, it would be the Brazilian&#8217;s unwillingness to open up and seek the finish, but the technical performance was good enough to take the fight 29-28 on all three cards.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now I can definitely say I am in the UFC,&#8221; Eduardo said. &#8220;This was definitely my fresh debut. My first fight I didn&#8217;t have the chance to train that much but this camp I had a great camp and trained very hard.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jeff Curran is a great guy. He&#8217;s got a great record, so I was excited to fight himm so I&#8217;m very happy to be the winner tonight and have this job. I plan to stay here for a long time.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the win, Eduardo (26-9 MMA, 1-1 UFC) improves to 12-1 in his past 13 fights. Curran (33-15-1 MMA, 0-3 UFC), who debuted for the UFC in 2004, remains winless in the octagon.</p>
<p>Up-to-the-minute UFC on FUEL TV 3 results include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Johnny Eduardo def. Jeff Curran via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If Rafael dos Anjos (15-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC) were a superstitious fellow, he might wonder what else could go wrong when he fights tonight at UFC on FUEL TV 3.</p>
<p>In the past three years, the veteran lightweight is 4-2.</p>
<p>But were it not for a jaw injury and a close split decision that didn&#8217;t go his way, the 27-year-old could easily be 6-0.</p>
<p>The Brazilian looks to buck the fight gods tonight when he meets Kamal Shalorus (7-2-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) at UFC on FUEL TV 3, which takes place at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. Their bout streams on Facebook prior to the FUEL TV-televised main card.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s dos Anjos&#8217; first fight since a close split-decision defeat to Gleison Tibau at UFC 139. Prior to the narrow loss, he was on a 4-1 run that included a stunning 59-second knockout of George Sotiropoulos at UFC 132.</p>
<p>The lone defeat during the streak came to perennial contender Clay Guida, and it would have been a signature victory for dos Anjos. But after winning the first two rounds, a first-round jaw injury eventually became too much to overcome, and dos Anjos couldn&#8217;t continue midway through the final frame. He was just a few minutes away from the win.</p>
<p>But that was then, and this is now. And dos Anjos doesn&#8217;t believe past results are indicative of any future ones.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel great,&#8221; dos Anjos today told <a href="http://www.mmajunkie.com/radio">MMAjunkie.com Radio</a> (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). &#8220;I&#8217;m ready for this fight. I lost the weight [easily], and I&#8217;ve recovered all my weight.</p>
<p>&#8220;I looked at his eyes (during weigh-ins). I don&#8217;t know about him, but I know about me, and I feel 100 percent.&#8221;</p>
<p>Prior to tonight&#8217;s fight, dos Anjos said he worked on two things: his English and his wrestling. The former helps with interviews like today&#8217;s, but the latter is crucial in preparing for Shalorus, a decorated amateur wrestler and grappler. So dos Anjos been training with the likes of UFC middleweight contender Mark Munoz at Reign Training Center in California.</p>
<p>&#8220;I trained a lot on my wrestling,&#8221; he said. I trained with all the best guys &#8230; and I improved a lot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shalorus, though, isn&#8217;t a one-dimensional wrestler. In his first five MMA wins, he picked up four knockouts.</p>
<p>But whether standing or grappling, dos Anjos isn&#8217;t concerned.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nobody knows what happens in a fight, but if he wants to strike (with) me, that&#8217;s great,&#8221; dos Anjos said. &#8220;If he wants to take me down, I&#8217;m a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, and I&#8217;m ready for him.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Move over <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Chuck-Liddell-192">Chuck Liddell</a>.</p>
<p>Being one of his country’s most popular athletes led to an unusual invitation for former <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/organizations/PRIDE-Fighting-Championships-3">Pride Fighting Championships</a> heavyweight titleholder <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Antonio-Rodrigo-Nogueira-1440">Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira</a>, who will participate in “Dance of the Famous” &#8212; Brazil’s version of “Dancing with the Stars.” The competition will be part of “Domingao do Faustao,” the top-rated Sunday afternoon television show on Rede Globo.</p>
<p>“I’ll dance,” Nogueira told Sherdog.com, a laugh in tow. “They called me to do it, and I’ll be there. It’s an opportunity to expose MMA to people who have never seen it. My grandmother, for instance, will attend ‘Dance of the Famous,’ but she doesn’t watch my fights.</p>
<p>“With this, you can humanize the sport and show people who you are,” he added. “There are some people who may criticize me, but I’m not doing this to be famous. I’m recognized in the sport and will reach an audience that’s never seen martial arts. This will be one more step for our sport.”</p>
<p>Noguiera has not fought since he suffered a gruesome arm injury in a UFC 140 defeat to <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Frank-Mir-2329">Frank Mir</a> in December. The 35-year-old will face <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Cheick-Kongo-2193">Cheick Kongo</a> at <a href="http://www.sherdog.com/events/UFC-149-Aldo-vs-Koch-20821">UFC 149</a> on July 21 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Despite his foray into dancing, Noguiera’s focus remains on the French kickboxer.</p>
<p>“My priority is my training,” Nogueira said. “Certainly, I have to train for this program once or twice a week. I train to fight five hours a day. That leaves 19 hours for me to rest, sleep and do other activities. I have hobbies like kite surfing and going to the beach with my dog, so I cut something in order to train and participate in the program.”</p>
<p>The “Dance of the Famous” competition will debut Sunday on Rede Globo.</p>

Other announced bouts include middleweights Lorenz Larkin (12-0 MMA, 3-0 SF) vs. Robbie Lawler (19-8 MMA, 3-4 SF) and middleweights Roger Gracie (4-1 MMA, 2-1 SF) vs. Keith Jardine (17-10-2 MMA, 0-1-1 SF).</p>
<p>The night&#8217;s main card airs on Showtime, and Showtime Extreme carries the prelims.</p>
<p>After submission wins over the likes of light heavyweights Kevin Randleman and Trevor Prangley, Gracie suffered his first pro-MMA loss to Lawal back in September. Gracie decided to drop a weight class after the knockout loss. The world-champion grappler and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt recently had mentioned a desire to fight in the UFC, though UFC president Dana White denied a subsequent rumored move.</p>
<p>Jardine gets a third shot at a first Strikeforce win. The longtime UFC fighter joined Strikeforce a year ago after a pair of wins over Francisco France and Aron Lofton in regional competition. After fighting Strikeforce&#8217;s Gegard Mousasi to a majority draw in a late-replacement booking, he dropped to middleweight but suffered a TKO loss to champion Rockhold in January.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>South American Shooto champion, Luis “Beicao” Ramos returned the belt to the company last Friday. But there was no reason for him to be upset, since he’s done it after being hired by UFC and his contract demands exclusivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Nova Uniao fighter, who was knocked out on his UFC debut, at UFC Rio, last August, will have another chance against Matt Riddle at UFC on FX 4, on June 22nd, on the United States.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“It is on. He’s a good wrestler and will want to strike. I’m hunger and I’m going for it. I’m training with full support at Nova Uniao. The guys have been really helpful and I can only thank them and I’m sure you’ll see a fight never seen before. Matt Riddle, I’ll hunt you down”, promised Ramos, who said there’s no rivalry in stake.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“There’s no rivalry, but I’m hungry and seeing a plate of food, so I wanna dig in. That’s what I want: go for it and prove why Ultimate hired me. I’m going for the win”.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The fight between Luis Ramos and Matt Riddle was slated for UFC 140, last December. However, moments before entering the octagon, the American claimed to be sick and with no conditions to fight, so it was canceled.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a five-month wait, Lyoto Machida finally had his next appointed announced by Ultimate. The Brazilian confronts Ryan Bader on August 4th at UFC on Fox 4, on the United States. Relief about the definition, the “Dragon”, who has shown dissatisfaction towards the organizations for postponing his fight, will split training in Belem and on the United States.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On an interview with TATAME, the Karate fighter talked about his next challenge, analyzed Bader, Jon Jones and didn’t discard dropping to the middleweight class and seemed willing to be one of TUF Brazil’s next coaches, possibly against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“It would be a hell of a conquer for me and for Shogun. I really respect him. Of course there’s this rivalry, but only inside the octagon. We say hello to each other and actually we’re co-workers, so we gotta respect each other. It’s going to be good, really good. If really there’s this chance of being part of TUF, I guess it can only bring good things for us and for the sport”.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Will you have your preparation done in Belem?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was thinking about half on the United States, at Black House, and half in Brazil. Since he’s a wrestler, I guess it’s important to go over there and learn some things and I guess it’ll help me a lot. I’m bringing Wrestling coaches to help me out. Of course I thought about training to defend myself from his game. My goal is to strengthen my Wrestling so I can play my game easily.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What can you tell us about Bader’s game style?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We trained together once at TUF’s house when Minotauro was a coach there. We trained together and we got to know each other, but it was only one day. As a person, he’s very cool, a strong fighter, he has heart. At striking he’s been getting better and he’s a great wrestler. I don’t see him as a ground expert, but of course he’s dangerous.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You were undefeated until were defeated by Shogun, in May of 2010. From then on you fought four times and only got one win. Why would you say that caused it?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s hard to say. I’m fighting among the bests and a detail makes a difference for you to win or lose. I really lost those fights and it’s a part of the game. It’s just something I went through, I’ve gone through some changes and I must’ve done this on an unconscious level and it led me to lose. But I see it as an opportunity to improve. Now I have to focus and be the best I can.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Do you feel pressured for earning another win?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I guess that’s pressure on me, but it won’t actually get to me, I won’t get nervous about it. I’m cool about it. Of course I need a win, but I’m fine and I’ll fight well alright. That’s the important thing: get a good fight and bring back home the win.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Jon Jones was a big promise and now he’s became a reality. How does it feel having a champion so dominant on your division?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well, people say he’s unbeatable, but I, as a fighter, don’t see it that way. He’s a great fighter, a great champion, but he has some flaws too and he might lose. I don’t know if it’s not or later, but I try not to focus on it that much. I try to focus on what I’m doing now, my biggest goal.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Do you consider dropping to the middleweight class?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>See, I said that because I want to stay active. If there’s no fight for me in this division I can drop. Of course I’m friends of Anderson, who’s the champion there and I respect him, I want him to remain as the champion, but it doesn’t stand in the way of me fighting there, maybe a challenge, something like he’s done on my weight class.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Shogun talked to TATAME this week and said he might be one of the coaches of TUF Brazil 2. You could be the other coach on that season of the show. How do you feel about that?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Great. It would be a hell of a conquer for me and for Shogun. I really respect him. Of course there’s this rivalry, but only inside the octagon. We say hello to each other and actually we’re co-workers, so we gotta respect each other. It’s going to be good, really good. If really there’s this chance of being part of TUF, I guess it can only bring good things for us and for the sport.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You were willing to fight in Brazil. Were you frustrated for not being included on its fighting card?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We always want to fight here, but I guess it’ll come when the time is right. It’s not the last event here ever, I’m pretty sure of it. So I’m waiting for my chance. I want to put on a great fight, independently of where I’m fighting at. I like to fight on the United States, where I’ve been slatted and I feel at home. My last fights were in Canada, against Randy Couture, Jon Jones… It’s going to be great fighting in the United States. When I have the chance to fight in Brazil I’ll grab it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After surgeries and under suspicious due to the time off, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira proved at UFC Rio against Brendan Schaub he still has a lot to show in the octagon. And, even after the loss to Frank Mir, he wants a great performance. Five month off the octagon, since he had his arm broken by the American, with a kimura, the Brazilian gets to his duel with Cheick Kongo, on July 21<sup>st</sup>, in Canada, willing to show the defeat when he was actually winning the fight was an accident.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blackhousemma.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/nogwalk.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-4424];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4425" title="nogwalk" src="http://www.blackhousemma.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/nogwalk.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="361" /></a></p>
<p>At the age of 35, the heavyweight told TATAME, on an exclusive interview this Thursday, that he’s keeping his game style and that his goal is to finish the fight before it goes to the judges’ score card for decision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“As per use, I’m going for the KO or the submission. Kongo will do his best to knock me out or submit me, but I believe I have more weapons”.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Check below the complete interview:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>How are you physically? Do you have any move limitations?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>No. I’m doing fine. I don’t have any move limitations, but I want to be 100 percent when the fight comes. I’m feeling well enough to train and do my physiotherapy sessions, which is something I always do. I’m just making sure I’ll get there to mess around. I had a disappointment in my last fight against Frank Mir, because it was won and I had a bad outcome afterwards. I’ll try to keep my mistakes to a minimum now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How do you evaluate Check Kongo?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I’m coming from a loss and so does he. Both want to win, but I’m not losing my aggressive side and I’ll try to finish it. I respect Kongo. He’s strong, dangerous at striking, comes forward, but I believe I’m better than him and that I can win.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Are you going for the knockout?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>As per use, I’m going for the KO or the submission. Kongo will do his best to knock me out or submit me, but I believe I have more weapons</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You’re fighting in Canada, stage of your defeat to Frank Mir. Does it have a special meaning to you?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>No. I had a bad situation over there, so I want to come up with a different outcome.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Are you frustrated for not fighting in Brazil?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I wouldn’t have enough time to train for it. I’m getting back from an injury, but I would like to be there. It’s always good fighting in Brazil. I hope to fight here next. There’s always going to be a Brazil evento, so I wanna be available.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You’re coming from an injury, like you did before knocking out Brendan Schaub, in Rio. What is different now?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I guess it never stopped anyone. I’m in recovery, doing well with my body, organizing things at my gym, helping some friends out and taking care of my personal business, which I usually don’t have time to do when I’m on a training camp. I’ll try to be at my best shape.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You’re going to Salvador to help Junior dos Santos. In what way he helps you out?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I’m just going there for few days, but then i’ll come back when it’s closer to the fight. He’s almost there, he’s ahead of me on the preparation. I always go there and learn something from his agility, his Boxing trainings. There’re some Karate guys there and I guess it helps me to become faster with my legs. I get his will, conditioning and flow, because Cigano is great at that. He always helps me. His experience, his coups are helping me a lot this time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Are there any plans of expanding your social project at Complexo do Alemao?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>We want to make a project, we’ve even got to talk to Chatuba and Chatubinha. They both come from communities that need help. They have projects over there like Relma’s, but I guess that bringing names like mine, Anderson Silva’s and other professional names, we’ll bring much more attention to the project. Our intention is to create many projects in the city. Here in Rio de Janeiro we have Receiro with the guys from Terreirao. Next we’re going to Alemao and then other places. We want to help 300 kids in Alemao and a thousand at Recreio. Our final project includes 3000 kids.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>And what about you at “Dancing with the Stars” (Brazilian version of the show). Is dancing easier than fighting?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>(Laughs) I’ll try to do it, but I’m focused on the fight. I don’t hold great expectations about dancing. I guess it’s nice to show other side of me, which isn’t the fighter side. So, let’s see what happens.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Slatted for UFC’s card of May 26<sup>th</sup> against the American Kyle Kingsbury, in Las Vegas, Glover Teixeira had to go through a lot to have his chance on the biggest MMA event of the world. The Brazilian was prevented to enter America for two years due to visa problems and kept fighting in Brazil meanwhile. On the month of his UFC debut, the athlete talked to TATAME exclusively and you read it all here below:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>It’s getting closer to you so awaited UFC debut. How are the expectations?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>It’s really good, each day that goes by I’m closer of making my dream come true and I’m really happy it’s actually happening. I already came to the United States and signed with the UFC. Now I only need to get there and, like the Americans use to say, have fun. And that’s it, I’m having a lot of fun.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Since you got your visa you went to the US to see your wife. Did you get the chance to meet Chuck Liddell and train at your former gym?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Yeah. We met over there. He actually read my UFC and manager contracts. I trained with Jean. Chuck is only doing fitness training to keep his body ok. I trained with Jean and he told me there were few guys there and that it was better for me to come to Brazil. I had told him I have a wonderful team here in Brazil, so I’m doing my training camp over here alright.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How does it feel fighting on a card filled with Brazilians? Dos Santos is fighting for his belt, there’s Bigfoot, Edson Barboza…. And it’s in Las Vegas.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Only tough guys. And I’m part of it. It’s a dream of mine and I’m really happy to be a part of it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How is your training going? Are you on the final sprint?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>No. I’m still training hard. I’ll let that final sprint for the last couple of weeks. I’m training my game plan, but he’s a tough guy at Muay Thai and Wrestling, so we’re training it all. Pedro is also fighting Fedor, so everybody’s training. And you know how the guys are, right? You’ve seen them. It’s just knockout, only great bodies to train with.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Will we see the same Glover we’ve seen in action here? Will you be aggressive and go for it?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Absolutely. We can’t promise our fights will be quick like I had until this point, but it’s still me. You’ll see Glover trying to finish the fight fast and making a good show for the fans. Now it’s time to win this thing. Let’s see if I can get the best knockout of the night. It’s hard because there’re many guys fighting: Cigano, Bigfoot&#8230; We’ll try, and you can be sure I’ll try it (laughs).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Written by journalist Pedro Bial, the documentary about Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira’s life is being directed and produced by the Portuguese Fernando Serzedelo, producer of “Fast and Furious”, “Incredible Hulk” and “2012”. And it was exactly on the shooting sets of “Fast and Furious”, in Rio de Janeiro, that they came up with the idea of making a movie out of the life of one the biggest national MMA icons. Serzedelo heard about the main star of the movie, Vin Diesel, who was a big Minotauro fan. In order to please the actor, Fernando got in touch with the MMA legend and invited him to visit the locations of the movie.</p>
<p>Rodrigo accepted the invitation and went to meet Vin Diesel. And it was on that meeting, between one big MMA representative and a movie star that came up the idea of shooting a documentary on Rodrigo Nogueira’s life, according explained the movie director.</p>
<p>“I got along with Minotauro since moment one. He was talking to Vin Diesel and I call him and asked: ‘Rodrigo, do you want to have a movie done on your life?’ He says: ‘let’s talk about it’. We started talking and soon enough we realized we really got along well. In the end of 2010 we had an agreement about launching it in 2011”, explained Fernando, who was chocked about the Brazilian’s popularity on the United States.</p>
<p>“I was impressed to realize they are heroes back in America. I arrived about 11a.m. to shoot in Seattle and I left at 4p.m. The line would go around the corner of people wanting Rodrigo’s autograph, and also Rogerio and Anderson’s. These MMA fighters are heroes not only inside the rings, but in life”.</p>
<p>The debut of “Minotauto, the life of the legendary fighter Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira” is predicted for 2013 and the director believes that cinema will perform an essential role on humanizing athletes. “Movies will humanize those guys and, having them turned into humans, people can relate to them more, because MMA heroes are heroes only in the rings, but in life. They are all humble, focused guys”, said the director, who analyzed one of the biggest MMA cinematographic productions at this moment.</p>
<p>“The difference between Minotauro’s documentary to Anderson’s, is that ‘Like Water’ has a beginning, middle and end. Despite the script and all the things that happen, it’s his preparation for fighting Chael Sonnen. It’s a really good movie, there’s an important villain, a hero and a dramatic outcome, with the good guy’s win over the bad guy. On Jose Aldo’s movie, it’s a fiction based on his life, there’s a soap opera star on it, it’s a romance. My movie is a documentary on Rodrigo Nogueira’s life. From his childhood, since he was ran over at the age of nine. He almost died, was in a coma, doctors discredited him, but his amazing overcoming power showed since a kid he would win in life. The movie has not pre-established script, who writes it is Minotauro himself”, concludes Serzedelo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a couple of years Pedro Rizzo will return to the cages. Injuries forced the Brazilian to cancel two recent bouts, but now he has Fedor Emelianenko ahead of him on June 21st, in Russia. The fight against “The Last Emperor” is one of the Brazilian’s old wishes, since they never got to fight each other.</p>
<p>Healed and getting prepared for the bout, Pedro Rizzo affirmed on an interview with TATAME that he is so focused on his next appointment he doesn’t mind if it brings him back to the UFC.</p>
<p>“I guess UFC is small now. My dream now is to win this thing, which is huge for me and my career and my will as a competitor. I don’t think about returning to the UFC in case I beat him. I have a couple of fights ahead of me, so I have him and another one, but I gotta defeat him first. I’m so glad about fighting Fedor I’m not thinking about UFC, I’m just thinking about this fight”.</p>
<p>Check below the complete interview with the fighter:</p>
<p>What are the expectations for Fedor?</p>
<p>I’m doing my regular training. It’s always important training, especially when you’re fighting Fedor, who’s a guy I always dreamed about fighting with. For many reasons we never fought in all those years. Or I lost a fight when he was on the way or maybe we were in different events. On the times we were on the same event, which was Affliction, I lost to Josh (Barnett), I lost at Pride. When I was doing great in the UFC he was at Pride, so we never got the chance to fight. I always wanted this. Fighting a guy I’ve always watched fighting, I’ve always imagined fighting him and it’s finally happening.</p>
<p>You always wanted it, but you’re fighting Fedor at a moment he’s not that prestige as he used to be. He’s coming from a couple of wins but had those three losses in Strikeforce. Do you regret haven’t fought him before?</p>
<p>No. That’s the fighting business. I’ve been on a better momentum and he has been better once too. To me, he’s the same fighter he was at Pride. People say he’s seedy, but I disagree. I guess he’s at the same level. He’s a guy who’s fighting for a long time and sometimes you lose. I guess one thing that is changed about Fedor is his mind. When you’re a champion and you beat everybody you think you’ll always win. That’s 60, 70 percent of the fight. It’s about confidence. When he had his first loss to Fabricio (Werdum), his confidence was broken. Then he was defeated by Bigfoot and then Dan Henderson. He’s a really tough guy, a tough fight and I believe it’s going to be a great bout because at the same time he doesn’t want to let people down, so do I.</p>
<p>You had to cancel your last fight because of an elbow injury. Are you completely repaired?</p>
<p>I had it operated in November, so the expectation is for it to be completely healed now and that’s what happened. Now I’m training 100 percent. I’m taking Glover Teixeira’s training for granted and training hard. Some guys are coming here to help me out at my camping. After Glover there’s Marco Ruas coming, then Glover Teixeira will go there with me. Besides the Hollander fighters, there will be some wrestlers helping. I’ll have a three-week camp in Netherland. It’s a two, three-hour flight to San Petersburg.</p>
<p>What have you learned from his losses in Strikeforce?</p>
<p>Nowadays everybody knows everybody. There’s no mystery game anymore. Fedor was undefeated for ten years, so now we’ve all seen how he fights. I think about sticking to my game, but now you gotta be ready for anything. Fedor has good Judo takedowns, he has improved his striking back in Netherlands and he’s training non-stop. I’ll have my final part of the camp over there. It’s hard to talk about a complete guy like Fedor, pointing out a weak point of his. Let’s fight it out and see what happens. I have my game plan which I intend to keep as a secret. I have my way of fighting, I’ve seen how things work out for him and I’ll try to train that to get the win. He’s also training to find my mistakes.</p>
<p>A while back you talked about a possible return to the UFC. In case you win, do you believe you’ll get closer to setting a deal with them?</p>
<p>Honestly, I’m happy about fighting Fedor, because it’s a big challenge fighting him, especially in Russia. It’s going to be crazy, but I guess that craziness is slit in pressure. On the ring it’s me and him. I guess UFC is small now. My dream now is to win this thing, which is huge for me and my career and my will as a competitor. I don’t think about returning to the UFC in case I beat him. I have a couple of fights ahead of me, so I have him and another one, but I gotta defeat him first. I’m so glad about fighting Fedor I’m not thinking about UFC, I’m just thinking about this fight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s no denying that Jon “Bones” Jones is a great, young, talented fighter with all the potential in the world.</p>
<p>But according to UFC president Dana White, for as great as Jones already is and could one day become, he still has to stand behind middleweight champion Anderson Silva.</p>
<p>“To deny Anderson Silva is the best fighter in the world and probably the best ever, is tough to do right now,” said White.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tickets for the blockbuster &#8220;UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II&#8221; event go on sale next week.</p>
<p>Featuring a heavily anticipated rematch between UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (31-4 MMA, 14-0 UFC) and his outspoken nemesis, Chael Sonnen (27-11-1 MMA, 6-4 UFC), UFC 148 takes place July 7 at Las Vegas&#8217; MGM Grand Garden Arena.</p>
<p>Tickets for the event, which also features Champ Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber for the bantamweight title, as well as Rich Franklin vs. Cung Le and Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz III, range from $125 to $1,200.</p>
<p>UFC officials initially announced Silva vs. Sonnen II for UFC 147 on June 23 at Joao Havelange Stadium (also known as Engenhao Stadium) in Rio de Janeiro. However, in recent weeks, White said the company was considering a different date due to the United Nations&#8217; &#8220;Rio +20&#8243; meeting, which is scheduled for June 20-22 in Rio de Janeiro. That meeting prompted political pressure from local officials and resulted in a lack of hotel rooms for such a large UFC stadium show, and UFC brass moved the fight to Las Vegas.</p>
<p>Tickets go on sale to the general public next Friday, May 4, at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT local time).</p>
<p>However, UFC Fight Club members can purchase tickets on Wednesday, May 2, at 1 p.m. ET, and UFC.com e-newsletter subscribers can buy their seats on Thursday, May 3, at 1 p.m. ET.</p>
<p>The current UFC 148 lineup includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Champ Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen (for middleweight title)</strong></li>
<li>Champ Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber (for bantamweight title)</li>
<li>Rich Franklin vs. Cung Le</li>
<li>Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz</li>
