from screenhead.com:
The Expendables cast grows bigger as the trades are reporting that the Brazilian duo The Nogueria Brothers and Lyoto Machida have been offered roles in Stallone's upcoming action film.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and his twin brother Antonio Rogerio Nogueira are two of the biggest named in MMA. Rodrigo is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master while Rogerio was the 2006 and 2007 Brazilian super heavyweight boxing champion.

Meanwhile, Lyoto Carvalho Machida holds an undefeated MMA record having never lost a single round in the UFC.

If the trio join the film, they will be playing alongside a whos-who list of action stars, including Jet Li, Jason Statham, Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture and many others.
Machida challenges Rashad Evans for the UFC light-heavyweight title at UFC 98 on May 23.
