He also mentions that nobody in the UFC can beat Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.....

During a recent interview with Tatame.com, EliteXC heavyweight champion Antonio Silva mentioned that he may be defending his title in September. He also gave his opinion on the upcoming Frank Mir/Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira fight for the UFC heavyweight title:

"I'm happy, but I'm back on training because I might come back in September to defend my belt. I passed a week with my family and it was great, but I'm back here (ATT) now."

"Frank Mir is an excellent fighter, has a good ground game and is not a fool standing up, but not because I'm a huge Nogueira fan or friend, but nobody in UFC can beat him. Everything can happen in a fight, but I believe nobody can beat him there."
