‘Minotauro’ Nogueira expects twin brother Rogerio Nogueira to retire after next UFC fight

It appears Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will join his brother Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in retirement as soon as next year.

Retired fighter and UFC ambassador “Minotauro” Nogueira, twin brother of the light heavyweight fighter, told Brazilian reporters that “Minotouro” only has one fight left in his contract with the company and has no intention to continue fighting after that.

Rogerio Nogueira, who holds a 23-9 record in the sport, was scheduled to take on Trevor Smith at the upcoming UFC event in Sao Paulo on Nov. 16. But he was forced out of the card due to a back injury.
