[edit] Biography
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and his twin brother (Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira) both hail from the town of Vitoria da Conquista, Brazil, and train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Ricardo de la Riva. Along with his brother, he trains with the other members of Brazilian Top Team.
Although they are identical twins, Rogerio can be distinguished from his brother by his lighter weight, and by the presence of a scar on his brother's lower back.
[edit] Pride Career
Antonio competes in the Middleweight division of the Pride Fighting Championships. His PRIDE career debuted in 2001 with a TKO victory over Shamoji Fujii. A grappling specialist most of his wins thus far have been by decision or use of a submission hold. In his last fight he suffered a stunning upset KO loss to newcomer Rameau Thierry Soukodjou just 23 seconds into the first round, when he was caught with a left hook straight to his dome. His loss to Soukodjou is thought to be the greatest upset in MMA history.
[edit] Boxing Career
Antonio competes in the Super Heavyweight division. He recently won the Brazilian Championship and the South American Games. He's training for the Pan-American games in Rio de Janeiro this year.
