Former champion of Pride and UFC, Rodrigo Minotauro Nogueira suffered the first knockout of his career on the fight against Frank Mir and, a little bit further from the UFC’s heavyweight belt, he dreams about redemption.

On the chat with TATAME Magazine on its May edition, Minotauro reveals his interest on a rematch against Frank Mir, who also is far from the top of the division when he lost to Shane Carwin. “I’d love a rematch against Mir, it is a fight I would like to do again. It would be a good fight, he is a high level athlete. I want it, for sure”, Nogueira.

Without thinking about retirement, Rodrigo spoke openly about the knockout he suffered against Cain Velasquez, the death of his Muay Thai coach, Luiz Alves, the pressure of being within the ten best fighter in the division for more than eight years and the growth of Junior Cigano dos Santos in the UFC heavyweight division.
