Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (32-6-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) recently spoke about his health as he heads into his UFC 134 fight with Brendan Schaub​ (8-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC). Here are the highlights…

On Fighting Hurt: "I'd been fighting hurt for three years," Nogueira said in his native Portuguese during Wednesday's open workouts in Rio de Janeiro. "But I've been healthy for the past four months, after my surgeries. I may have a bit of ring rust, but to fight in Brazil is something else. To wake up in my own home, eat breakfast at home, and train in my own gym one mile away is a victory in itself."

Is He 100% Now?: "That's the idea. That's why I took a year off to heal up."

On Fighting In Brazil: "I'm Brazilian but had never fought in Brazil," he said. "Most Brazilian fighters have had the pleasure to fight in Brazil. This will be my [41st] fight, and I've never had the opportunity to fight in Brazil. To be cheering as a Brazilian (in the stands for UFC 134) would be great, but to be a part of all this is just too much. It will be a hard fight. It will be an aggressive fight. I promise my best. I'll try to end it by submission, which is what I do best. Brazil's jiu-jitsu is the best in the world, and I'll try to demonstrate this."
