Nogueira, like many from the BJJ community, were not too happy with Rousey’s comments about how she believes that she can beat any BJJ fighter. In an interview with MMA Fighting.com, Nogueira said how she is currently negotiating her way in the UFC and how she believes that she can she can expose Rousey’s weaknesses:
“My manager is talking to Sean Shelby and the UFC, that’s why I’m staying in shape and training hard already,”I always competed at 163 pounds in jiu-jitsu, so I cut down to 145 to fight MMA. But the UFC only has the 135 weight class, so I have to go down to 135. I’m staying at 151 now so it’s going to be easy to cut to 135.”
“I always said, since day one, that a good jiu-jitsu girl, with a good strategy, beats Ronda Rousey. She has a lot of flaws in her jiu-jitsu. Maybe I defeat her with an armbar. Who knows?”
“We know it’s all marketing, she wants headlines, but she was disrespectful with the jiu-jitsu girls,” Nogueira responded. “She already lost in judo, now she says she can beat any jiu-jitsu black belt? I don’t even think she beats a top purple belt like Ana Carolina Vieira.”
