QUEBEC CITY – Dana White wants to see former PRIDE and interim UFC champion  Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira retire after a crushing knockout loss to Roy Nelson in the UFC Fight Night 39 headliner this past weekend. White made the conscious decision to bite his tongue immediately after the fight out of respect for Nogueira’s (34-9-1 MMA, 5-5 UFC) ability to make his own choice regarding his future. But when the 37-year-old stated his desire for a third fight against Frank Mir shortly following the loss to Nelson, White felt the need to intervene and make his position known. “As soon as he got knocked out I was getting blown up by media guys saying, ‘What do you want to do?’” White told MMAjunkie
