FanHouse Antonio Rogerio Nogueira

Looking back at this past Saturday's UFC 106, SI.com's Ben Fowlkes and I discuss the hot topics coming from the big fights.

We look at what the future has in store for Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz, worthy opponents for Georges St-Pierre, Amir Sadollah's performance against Phil Baroni and the next step for Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

Check it out below.

Forrest Griffin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira both had big wins at UFC 106 Saturday night, and they're both on my list of the Top 10 light heavyweights in MMA.

My question now is whether they should fight each other next. As strong as the UFC's light heavyweight division is, there's a bit of a logjam in it. The Lyoto Machida-Shogun Rua rematch for the title won't take place until May 1, Rampage Jackson is off making movies and Dan Henderson is in a contract dispute, and that means the only light heavyweight fight including top 10 fighters scheduled for the next five months is Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva.

My Top 10 list is below.

The UFC has finally announced Antonio Rogerio "Minotoro" Nogueira's promotional debut at UFC 106 on Nov. 21 against Luiz Cane as well as Mike Pierce as Jon Fitch's new opponent at UFC 107 on Dec. 12.

Rogerio Nogueira (17-3), the twin brother of former UFC heavyweight champion Rodrigo Nogueira, is a top 10 light heavyweight who is entering an already stacked 205-pound division in the UFC. He'll be welcomed to the Octagon by rising contender Luiz Cane (11-1-1), who has already compiled three UFC wins.

A light heavyweight encounter between Ricardo Arona and Marvin Eastman will cap off a night of ten bouts at Saturday's Bitetti Combat 4 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

FanHouse confirmed Tuesday with Bitetti Combat the complete card and with the exception of the recent exit of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, the lineup has remained intact.

Murilo "Ninja" Rua will replace Antonio Rogerio "Minotouro" Nogueira against Alex Stiebling at Bitetti Combat on Sept. 12 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Fighters.com was first to report of the matchup and FanHouse has confirmed the switch with a source close to Bitetti Combat. FanHouse has also learned that the official word of Nogueira's removal from the card is not due to his discussions with the UFC, but because of a foot injury that will not heal in time for the fight.

Today's UFC Twitter mailbag focuses on UFC 102, the main event of Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and Nogueira's declaration on Tuesday that his twin brother, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, will soon sign to fight with the UFC.

Your questions and comments, and my responses, in the UFC Twitter mailbag are below.

Antonio Rogerio "Minotoro" Nogueira is headed to the UFC, according to his twin brother, former UFC heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira.

"[The UFC] already talked to him, they're dealing with my brother, so for sure he's coming to the UFC," Rodrigo said Tuesday in a media call. "You going to hear that. They're almost closed the deal. There's just some things – but he's coming to the UFC. He's here for sure."
