Around SBN: VIDEO: Austin Rivers' Buzzer Beater Finishes Off UNC

Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Possible In December?

That's the rumor according to Nogueira's muay thai coach Luiz Aves:

According to Luiz Aves, Nogueira’s Muay Thai coach, this fight can happen. "It’s not 100% yet, but Rodrigo might fight in December. When I was in the US, I heard some rumors that he could face Napão (Gonzaga)… It’s not right yet, but I heard that he could fight him, then would move forward to the title. I think, by the middle of 2010, we’ll fight for the title again", revealed Alves.

This fight wouldn't make any sense to me, not to mention that it's being reported that Nogueira will fight for the title next.  The December card is already shaping up pretty good and adding Nogueira/Gonzaga to it wouldn't add anything extra in regards to PPV buys.  Gonzaga has already lost to Carwin, and hasn't beaten anyone of note since Cro Cop was Cro Cop.  So I'd chalk this up to not happening, but I've seen crazier things happen before.

I don’t really see what Gabe has done to earn this… I’d watch it with interest if it would go down though, but I have a feeling Gonzaga would get Werdum’d again.

Bloody hell.

This fight would be great the idea that Nog would get a title shot after beating Couture is laughable. Let him get a win over Napao and them we can talk about going up against the winner of Carwin/Lesnar. Personally I think Napao would ktfo and send him to retirement along with CC but it would be a hell of a fight anyway.
