Minotauro and Anderson are listed for UFC Rio III, reveals entrepreneur

Jorge Guimarães says that fighters are being considered to save the card: 'This event may be better than what was scheduled before'

The Ultimate is working in secrecy to replace losses of the injured Jose Aldo and Rampage Jackson in the UFC Rio card III, or UFC 153 on Oct. 13. And two names that have considerable chances of replacing them are Brazilian and great weight: Anderson Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira .

The SPORTV.COM spoke with the manager of both athletes and Combat Channel commentator, Jorge "Joinha" Guimarães, adding that both are quoted for the event in Brazil. He also ensured that Glover Teixeira will be maintained and will have a new opponent for the post of Rampage.

- I can not move forward because there's nothing closed, but are being bandied Anderson, Minotauro and an opponent to Glover. Nothing is lost. I think this event may be better than what was scheduled before - Joinha said by telephone.

The report also found that, in the case of Anderson, his opponent was a wrestler light heavyweight category, but would not Rashad Evans, as fans have commented.

Tatame is reporting that Nog may face Dave Herman.
