The UK Sun is reporting that the debuting Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (brother of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira) will be offered the main event spot of UFC 105 against Dan Henderson, presumably at 205 pounds. The two fighters met back in the PRIDE promotion in 2005 where “Lil’ Nog” put on arguably his greatest performance in submitting Henderson in the first round.
UFC 105 Rumor: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Dan Henderson to Main Event
Henderson is coming off of a devistating KO win over Michael Bisping which should make him a natural heel to the English crowd at the event.
The Sun also had this to say about the other possible main event should Henderson/Nogueira not materialize:
However, should Nogueira or Henderson turn the fight down, we understand welterweight legend Matt Hughes is being considered as an alternative big name to appear at the MEN Arena on November 14.It is rumoured Hughes — who recently signed a new four-fight deal — could be handed a shot against highly-rated Mike Swick.
