Big Nog change plans about surgeries

Former champion of the heavyweight division of UFC, Rodrigo Minotauro Nogueira was forced to leave UFC 119 card due to a hip injury, which got worst, and lost the chance to rematch Frank Mir. After announcing that his hip and knee surgery would be done on the United States, the Brazilian changed his plans.

I’ll do my surgeries Wednesday. Let’s heal this injury and get back at our best, wrote Minotauro on his Twitter, revealing that he will come to Brazil today. I’ll go to Vitória da Conquista this weekend. I’ll meet my father, take some time off to be with him and all my family and go to my brother’s birthday party. Hold it, man, I’m getting there, completed Minotauro, who will be back on the United States in September to follow Rogério MInotouro, his brother, facing Ryan Bader, on UFC 119.
