'Shogun' Rua vs. Corey Anderson targeted for UFC 198

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua is going home.
A light-heavyweight bout between Rua and
Corey Anderson
is being discussed for
UFC 198
on May 14, MMAFighting.com has learned. The event, scheduled to take place in Rua's hometown of Curitiba, Brazil, will be held at 40,000-seat soccer stadium Arena da Baixada.
The 34-year-old Rua (23-10) pulled out of his
UFC on FOX 19
fight against
Rashad Evans
last week due to a knee injury. He hasn't fought since his August win over
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
at
UFC 190
. This would mark the third time in Rua's illustrious career that he fights in his hometown, however, he hasn't done so since his second pro fight in May 2003.
Anderson (8-1) won his third fight in a row earlier this month when he defeated
Tom Lawlor
via unanimous decision. The 26-year-old "Beastin 25/8" made his MMA debut less than three years ago.
UFC 198 will be headlined by
Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic
for the UFC heavyweight title

198 might as well be called 200

Anderson seriously has the worst nickname in all of MMA, I cringe anytime I hear that stupid f---ing name.
Also don't think Shogun can defeat Corey at this point in his career, hell I am not sure who he can beat outside of Nog again or maybe Perosh lol.
