| Antonio Rogerio Nogueira has been working toward qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as a boxer for Brazil. For those who don’t know, he is such a good boxer that he won a bronze metal at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro in the 201-pound division this past July. |  |
After a few months of speculation on who “Minotoro” was going to sign with, he finally took the deal from Canada’s Hardcore Championship Fighting. The 205lb fighter signed a three-fight deal that will have him in his first fight in late Nov., or early Dec. in Vancouver.
Nogueira has not fought since his last Pride Fight where he was knocked out by Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou.
