Though it wasn't announced, Big Nog was in attendance at the UFN. Strong speculations that he may be headed for the UFC, maybe it'll be anounced this saturday instead. Can't wait for Nog vs. AA.

UFC Quick Quote: Minotauro UFC bound?
“Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is at the show. It is expected he will be introduced as the new heavyweight signing for UFC during the live broadcast tonight.”
– The reliable Dave Meltzer from WrestlingObserver.com reports that PRIDE FC heavyweight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira was at UFC Fight Night 9 this evening to announce his status as a UFC fighter. (No such announcement was ever made … but Meltzer is right more often than not … it’s worth passing along.)

if its true am dissapointed another hw figher leaving cus they cant handle fedor.
UFC begins the cherry picking, even though Nog was a free agent at the time I think. It's not a dream match up when it's only Fedor and Barnett over in Pride.
it's ridiculous, why buy Pride and start a new company if they bring in another one of their heavyweights, just to build a future matchup with Cro Cop because he has a victory over him.
yeh, they are thinking longer terms...when cro cop wins hw title , they need to have a worthy challenger, big nog will sell tickets cuz he beat him..perfect
Big Nog can't take Fedor and I think he knows that. In the UFC he will have a better chance at reigning supreme. It's good news because some of the UFC's HW's will be good match-ups for him. I wanna see Big Nog vs. Brandon Vera
