"lil nog to the UFC by years end"

Good news I think

During a media teleconference call promoting the bout, Nogueira said talks had already taken place between UFC officials and Antonio Rogerio.

“They’ve already talked to him, they’re dealing with my brother,” said Antonio Rodrigo. “For sure he’s coming to the UFC.”

The fate of Antonio Rogerio, a light heavyweight, had been undetermined following the sudden end of Affliction Entertainment. In January, he defeated former UFC contender Vladimir Matyushenko at Affliction “Day of Reckoning,” the second fight of a three-fight obligation. In his debut, he defeated “Ultimate Fighter” season four alum Edwin Dewees by TKO at last July’s “Banned.”

I think this is more so Strikeforce can't have him.

They've had plenty of chances to get him before this.

Agreed. Seems like an angle to go after Mousasi.

Either way it won't heart the LHW division, which is forever growing.

I think we'll see him against a fighter like Luis Cane at UFC 105.

He'll be there in England.
