“Very sad to hear that Rogério Nogueira was injured and was forced to cancel our fight. Rogério is a great fighter and I wish him a speedy recovery. I'm thinking that if Corey anderson is ready and able to fight, we can give the fans a great show. Let’s do it!”, “reported” the Swede on his official Twitter.

PUBLICITY:

Latifi did not reveal what the Brazilian's injury would be and the information has not yet been officially confirmed by the UFC. Minotouro hasn't fought since November last year, when he lost by technical knockout to Ryan bader in the main fight of UFC Sao Paulo. He had already lost to “Darth” in the past, but by decision.
