Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" NogueiraShowcasing skills that are nothing less than exceptional, this Brazilian Top Team member has left a trail of defeated heavyweights in the PRIDE ring. Whether on the ground or standing toe to toe, "Minotauro" is truly one of the sport's most impressive fighters. His nickname, "minotauro" or "minotaur" comes from the mythological Greek creature that had the body of a man and the head of a bull. Nogueira is a gifted striker with quick jabs, but also likes to surprise his opponents with knees from the clinch. However, when people think of Nogueira, they think Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. One of the very best in the world, his arsenal includes a wicked arm bar from the guard, as well as his favorite---the triangle choke. |
