Antonio Rogerio Nogueira: "Rodrigo Will Return to Training in a Few Weeks"

With the good news of Brock Lesnar's recovery being announced, comes another. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, or "Lil-Nog" as people call him, says that his brother, Rodrigo is recovering well from staph infection and will be back to training within a few weeks:

"Rodrigo will leave the [staph] infection to heal for about 15 or maximum 20 days. He's good. The arm is already deflating, it had swollen as much as it was going to," he told Brazilian site Terra, adding that he is not sure when his brother will be fit to fight.

 "You have to wait for the infection to recede before returning to training. I do not know if he will be ready in time to fight at UFC 109 but within a few weeks he will return to training," he explained.

They shouldve put Nog vs Cane and Nog vs Cain in the same card.

And do it as a Christmas show, so they can serve Egg Nog and Candy Canes.
