In a light heavyweight bout that was initially rumored for UFC 113 in Montreal, Forrest Griffin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will instead do battle a few weeks later in Las Vegas on the UFC 114 card. MMA Junkie reported on the shift which wasn’t at all surprising, given the fact that Josh Koscheck vs. Paul Daley was given “co-main event” status at 113, and the 114 card needed another feature bout.
The current rumored cards for these two May events are after the jump.

Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua
Josh Koscheck vs. Paul Daley
Patrick Cote vs. Alan Belcher
