“I like big fights like that. I’ll be ready if they gave me a good opponent,” Nogueira told MMAWeekly.com. “It would be my pleasure, but if they gave me a title shot, it would be awesome.”
Brock Lesnar holds the UFC heavyweight belt, and asked how he matched up with him, Nogueira said, “A lot of jiu-jitsu and good standing up, make him tired man, move around, move around. When I get his timing, hit him with a good right hand and box him, box him and get him tired.”
Nogueira sees his wealth of experience as an advantage in a possible bout with Lesnar. “I’m kind of calm. I can listen to my coach. I’ve been in there a long time. I can see what’s going on,” commented the Rio de Janeiro resident. “I have more experience than him. That’s a big advantage I have.
“If he goes on the top into my guard, I can play with him,” added Nogueira. “Let’s see, let’s see what is going to happen.”
