Former UFC Heavyweight champion, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has revealed he would like to have a rematch with either Frank Mir or Mirko Cro Cop next inside the octagon, also adding he would be ready to return by October.

Speaking via Fighters Only Magazine, Nogueira said:

“I’m going to the States in two weeks. I will meet the UFC officers to make a deal for my next fight. That might be in October. I’d love to match against Frank Mir. I wish this rematch badly and think that’s a good moment to make it happen.”

While he's pushing for Mir, I can see him getting Cro Cop instead. Mir/Nog rematch really doesn't help Mir much and it'll just end up being Smith/Le II.

Has Cro Cop ever fought Nogs. There is a lot of Pride fights I know nothing about.

Well I never watched Pride before, but what you quoted said he'd like a rematch against Nog...so they had to have fought before. Since he wants a rematch, I'd guess he lost too.
