RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira’s life and career have always been an example of perseverance, coming back from impossible situations both in and out of the ring and cage. But one of the adversities he has faced throughout his entire life was kept a secret from the public for decades.

The former UFC and PRIDE heavyweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer held an event for media and special guests Wednesday night in a restaurant in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, airing a documentary about his life that will premiere in the coming weeks on Brazilian television.
