Alexandre Franca "Pequeno" Nogueira (born January 15, 1978) is a Brazilian Luta Livre fighter and the former Lightweight (143 lb.) champion of Shooto, a Japanese mixed martial arts organization. Nogueira began his professional career at the age of 21, defeating Noboru Asahi. He trains with the World Fight Center. Nogueira also holds the record for longest title reign in any MMA organization, reigning as Shooto champion for six years, eight months, and two days before having to vacate the title due to a knee injury.
The California State Athletic Commission(CSA) had suspended Alexandre Nogueira, for one year and fined him $2,500, for failing a drug test at a June 1, 2008 WEC show. He tested positive for Boldenone, a banned substance.[1]
Nogueria has not fought since his TKO loss to Takeshi Inoue, at Vale Tudo Japan 2009 on October 30, 2009.
