Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Vs. Frank Mir Rematch Set For UFC 119 Main Event, Lil’ Nog Vs. Ryan Bader For Co-Main Event

Mike Chiappetta is reporting that UFC 119 finally has a co and main event. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will get his rematch with Frank Mir in the main event of UFC 119 while his twin brother, Rogerio, will face Ryan Bader in the co-main event.

Rodrigo is coming off a surprising KO loss to Cain Velasquez back in February while Mir looks to rebound off a similarly brutal knockout at the hands of Shane Carwin at UFC 116 in July. The two fought previously at UFC 92 for the interim heavyweight championship, with Mir taking a second round TKO victory. This was also the first time Nogueira had ever been stopped in thirty-seven professional fights.
