Former UFC heavyweight Champion, Rodrigo Minotauro Nogueira is out of UFC 119 due to an injury. Replaced by Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic against Frank Mir, the Brazilian spoke about his injury. I hurt my hips training and I’ll have to go on surgery. I’m only depending on a few exams, but I think it’ll be done by the weekend. The surgery will be on both sides of my hips, and I’ll operate my knee too. If everything goes alright I’ll be back on training in four months, Nogueira said.
