Why is Antônio Rogério Nogueira (the twin of the former champion - I hope I got his name right) not in the UFC? He has a 16-3 record with wins over notable fighters. I can only think of two reasons - he doesn't want to be in the UFC, or the UFC is concerned with marketing two men with virtually identical names. The first reason seems more rational, but you never know ...
So, anyone care to speculate as to why this fellow is fighting elsewhere?

probably because affliction is paying him more than what the UFC offered him, and because he had a long lay off...

Yeah diet Nog will be in the UFC soon, I think he held out long enough for him to come in and not have to fight his way to the top, maybe a Jardine fight in December LOL

I would like to see a fight between him and Liddell. It would be a good fight.

I think one reason is because he fights at 205 and his training partner Lyoto Machida is a top contender in the division. Nog Brothers, Anderson Silva, Lyoto all have a tight bond and don't like to feel as if they are stepping on each others toes.
