Nogueira-Aldo Scheduled for WEC
Monday, March 31, 2008
by Denis Martins (dmartins@sherodog.com)

An all-Brazilian battle between Alexandre Franca Nogueira (Pictures) and Jose Aldo is set for the June 1 WEC in Sacramento, Calif. Both camps confirmed the bout.

"Pequeno" Nogueira, who reigned for years as champion of Shooto's 143-pound division, was expected to fight Nick Agallar (Pictures). Leonard Garcia (Pictures) was then mentioned as a potential opponent before he was arrested in Texas last week.

Aldo, 9-1, had already signed with the promotion and was also waiting on an opponent. The 21-year-old featherweight trains with Nova Uniao.
