Vladimir Matyushenko Close To UFC Return, Wants Rubber Match With Rogerio Nogueira
Given the current landscape of the UFC's light heavyweight division, the matchup does make some semblance of sense. Both men have proven themselves capable of dusting the dregs of the division but have failed against upper-tier competition.
Nogueira also finds himself in nearly the same exact physical situation as Matyushenko -- recovering from an injury that left him out of UFC 133 -- thus placing the two fighters on similar timetables.
Regardless, Matyushenko has made it clear to the UFC brass that he intends to return before the end of the year. Whether he'll get his wish and be afforded an opportunity to create the ideal ending to his trilogy still remains to be seen.
