Affliction’s first edition was great to Rogério Minotouro, that left HCF with some troubles and arrived on a new show, that promises shake MMA world. After Vitor Belfort announce to TATAME that he’ll face Matt Lindland for the middleweight belt, Rogério Minotouro asked for the belt. “I’ll fight in October 11th, but it’s not right yet against who. They’re speculating a lot of opponents, but they didn’t say anything yet”, told Rogério, that didn’t knew yet about Belfort’s fight. “Did they created a belt for him? Do you know if they’ll create a belt to light-heavyweight too?”, asked Nogueira.
After hearing a “no” as an answer, Nogueira promised win the belt – when Affliction creates one. “If they make one it’ll be great… I wanna be on top, and I’m ready. If I get this belt I can be a top 3”, said Rogério, that commented about the rumors of the fight between Renato Babalu Sobral and Tito Ortiz. “It seems like it’ll happen, they’re already negotiating it, but I don’t know if it’ll happen on the next event”, told Rogério to TATAME.com.
