Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion, Mauricio Rua, will make his mixed martial arts (MMA) return in the upcoming UFC Fight Night 134 main event, locked and loaded for this Sunday night (July 22, 2018) inside Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany.
Yesterday, the promotion released his epic “Fight of the Night” against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira to remind us a “Shogun” fight is worth waiting for (watch it). Today, UFC is back on YouTube to highlight the Brazilian’s devastating knockout power.
And of course it picked former 205-pound champion Lyoto Machida, who recently set sail for greener pastures in Bellator MMA.
Trying to put an end to Rua’s recently resurrected title aspirations is up-and-coming light heavyweight bruiser Anthony Smith, who replaced Volkan Oezdemir after “No Time” split to settle his stateside legal affairs earlier this month.
