Joe Ferraro over at Sportsnet.ca is reporting that Schaub and Big Nog have verbally agreed to meet at UFC 134. Schaub has been asking specifically to face Big Nog in Rio; perhaps because he wants to booed in Brazil or he wants to attempt to claim another former PRIDE scalp. Either way, as awesome as it would be to have had Nogueira and Cro Cop repeat their 2003 PRIDE bout in the Octagon it would be hard for Joe Silva to justify giving Cro Cop this fight instead of Schaub.

Not saying Schaub doesn't deserve a fight like this, but COME ON! Cro Cop vs. Nog II would have been perfect for this event!
Schaub is probably going to knock Nogueira out too! Rio will weep.
:(
They're probably not willing to pay CC what he wants.
ThatsJustLikeYourOpinionMan - WAR Big Nog
verdum - i really dont want to see mirko fight anymore, doesnt matter who it is against.
just my opinion.
Do most fans feel differently about Nog? Do people still want to see him fight even after this happened?
Keep the cursing in title off the UG please :)
