Brendan Schaub thinks that beating Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 134: “Rio” from the HSBC Arena on Aug. 27 in Brazil would make him the heavyweight division’s number one contender.
He apparently is not alone.
UFC President Dana White today (June 16, 2011) told media members at the UFC 134 pre-fight press conference the winner of Schaub vs. Nogueira is “in the mix” for the heavyweight title hunt — which could be Dana-speak for “I still don’t know what the hell I’m going to do with Frank Mir.”
Despite some big names, the UFC heavyweight division is surprisingly anemic, which means that either “The Hybrid” or “Minotauro” might get first dibs on the strap by default.
