Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Brendan Schaub on tap for UFC 134

By Rob Billington. 

Big Nog will make his long awaited return to the octagon in his home country of Brazil, against young prospect Brendan Schaub, at UFC 134.

Both sides have previously stated their interest to face off, looks like Joe Silva has granted them their wish.

Nog has been sidelined due to injury since early in 2010. In his last fight he got KO'd by heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez. With fans saying he has lost his edge i'm sure Nog will be hungry for a win in this fight, especially since he will be fighting in Brazil.

Brendan Schaub has been on the up and up since losing in the TUF 10 finals against Roy Nelson. With back to back wins against Gabriel Gonzaga and Mirko Cro Cop, Schaub looks like a legend killer, in my opinion this is a tougher fight for him, but only time will tell.

UFC 134 will be live in Rio, on August 27th.
