Antonio Rogerio Nogueira may have retired from mixed martial arts back in 2020, but ‘Lil’ Nog’ is not done fighting just yet. According to MMA Fighting’s report, the 46-year-old will return to the boxing ring to take on fellow Octagon veteran Leonardo Guimaraes in a 220-pound contest on January 30, in Balneario Camboriu, Brazil.
No stranger to the ring, Nogueira was actually the bronze medalist in the 2007 Pan American Games and also scored gold in the South American games in 2006. On the other hand, this will mark the first time Guimaraes, a jiu-jitsu practicioner, tries his luck in professional boxing.
