Antonio Rogerio Nogueira has a date set for his return to the Octagon. “Minotouro”, 42, is slated to meet Sam Alvey in the upcoming Fight Night event at the Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Sept 22. MMA Fighting confirmed the news following a report by Combate.
Nogueira (22-8) hasn’t fought since Nov. 2016, when he suffered a third-round TKO loss to Ryan Bader in the same venue. “Minotouro” was slated to fight Jared Cannonier last December, but was removed from the fight after failing an out-of-competition drug test.
