Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira picked up a big win this past weekend at UFC 153 in Brazil and discussed how he felt at the post fight press conference.

Nog wasn't pleased with the media for "trying to retire him" and explained that he still has a lot of gas left in the tank.

“Man, you [media] keep on saying that [I should walk away]. They’re trying to retire me,” Nogueira said at the UFC 153 post-fight press conference Saturday night. “I can still fight. I feel amazing. I’m still hungry. I still feel like I can go and fight and throw some good things. Physically, I feel good. I know my arm broke, but I had good physical therapy, and I’ve been working [an extra] hour every day.”

The former Pride and UFC Champ also let it be known that he still wants to fight top contenders:

“I want to fight Top 10 guys. I can’t ask for the belt, because my buddy, Junior dos Santos, [is the champion. He’s kind of my brother, and I’m going to be helping him for the next two weeks for his fight against Cain [Velasquez]. But I want to fight against the best guys.”
