I en intervju under helgens UFC Fight Night 52 i Japan, berättade Mauricio ”Shogun” Rua om sina planer på att jobba som coach under ”The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil”. Showen har tidigare letts av andra fighters om till exempel Vitor Belfort, Wanderlei Silva och Chael Sonnen.
Det här berättade han, via ”MMAJunkie”:
It’s a dream I have and one of my goals to be an ‘Ultimate Fighter’ coach. I haven’t had the chance yet. To be in ”TUF: Brazil” would be great, regardless of who would be the opposing coach.
Han berättar även om att han skulle vilja möta Antonio Rogerio Nogueira i framtiden:
Regarding `Nog`and me, I have a lot of respect for him and if we get a chance to fight in the future, I will welcome that.
Our first fight was a great fight and a lot of people in the media asks us about it, all the fans asks us about it. Why not? I think it will be great for the fans and we (me and Nog´) respect each other and get along well. Last fight was great and people expect a second fight that will also be great.
Härnäst kommer Shogun att möta Jimi Manuwa, under UFC: Fight Night 56 i Uberlândia, Brasilien den 8 november.
