Report: Kongo Vs. Nogueira on tap for UFC 79

Send News


That's the word according to Brian Knapp of the Fight Network

Nogueira is coming off of a UFC 73 victory over Heath Herring in a fight he nearly lost in the first round. Cheick Kongo is coming off of back to back wins in the Octagon with the most recent being over Mirko Cro Cop at UFC 75.

The winner is going to be in line for a future heavyweight title shot.

All I can say is that Kongo had better work on his takedown defense some more.
