"I know Dana White and he is thinking of his fighters. He knows I had a lot of injuries before, my arm was broken a couple of years ago when I fought. A lot of things happened. I didn't show up good when I fought in Abu Dhabi against Roy Nelson. It was a tough knockout but I came back to training and I asked him to fight again. I promised I was going to make an exciting match so I will... I'm not thinking about [retirement] right now. A lot of fighters who lost three, four fights before are coming back. A lot of guys from my same generation just came back and are doing better. So I'll try to keep it going on. I'm training good and I'm in shape. I still want to fight."

-Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira explained during the UFC 190 media day on Wednesday why he's not considering retirement despite recent in-cage adversity (via FoxSports.com).

Penick's Analysis: Nogueira's loss to Roy Nelson last year was brutal, and really makes it hard to want to see him in the cage again. However, given what we've seen out of guys like Frank Mir and Andrei Arlovski, it's not surprising that he'd feel that type of resurgence is possible for him as well. I don't know that Nogueira's necessarily in a spot to have a similar return to form, even if he beats Stefan Struve on Saturday, but it's something that can be re-evaluated based on how that fight goes for him.
