’Athletes need to fight, they can’t sit around’ - Nogueiras turn to online training amid pandemic

Like many combat sports gyms and facilities around the world right now, Team Nogueira has closed its doors in order to try to stop the coronavirus from spreading.

And like several other notable MMA camps, (including Rio de Janeiro’s Nova Uniao) Team Nogueira has been looking for creative solutions in order to keep its business afloat. Even if athletes can’t attend to their training sessions in person.

In an interview with Combate, UFC light heavyweight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira explained how he and his brother, former UFC interim heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, are making use of the internet in order to deal with the situation in such unusual and dangerous times.
