Former Pride and interim UFC heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is once again going under the knife. Nogueira reportedly suffered ligament damage resulting from an armbar submission loss to Fabricio Werdum at UFC on Fuel TV 10. Tatame.com confirmed and reported the injury and pending surgery. An MRI revealed extensive ligament damage in his left elbow that will require Nogueira to undergo surgery on Friday. Nogueira also required surgery following a Kimura submission loss to Frank Mir in late 2011. That surgery required 16 screws in his humerus, but Nogueira still managed to return to the Octagon 10 months later to defeat Dave Herman.

With opponent Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (21-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) injured, and short-notice volunteer Chael Sonnen (27-13-1 MMA, 6-6 UFC) no longer available , Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (21-7 MMA, 5-5 UFC) won’t fight at next week’s UFC 161 event. But the ex-light-heavyweight champ told Brazilian website Tatame that UFC officials have given him another date to fight against a yet-to-be confirmed opponent. “UFC asked me to keep training, that I would fight on August 17 [in] Boston,” Rua said, referring to UFC on FOX Sports 1, which takes place at TD Garden and serves as the UFC’s debut show on the new sports channel. Sonnen appears poised to take the rescheduled bout, though MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was unable to confirm whether he will stand opposite Rua on the summer card. A rep for the three-time title challenger said an announcement on his future should be made tonight.
