UFC Fight Night Sao Paulo Update: ‘Minotouro’ Nogueira, Sam Alvey to Clash on Sept. 22

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will return to the Octagon for the first time in nearly two years when he locks horns with Sam Alvey at UFC Fight Night Sao Paulo on Sept. 22.

Brazilian outlet Combate.com was first to report the light heavyweight booking. UFC Fight Night 137 takes place at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paul, Brazil. A main event for the card has not been revealed.

Nogueira was scheduled to face Jared Cannonier at UFC on Fox 26 in December before being flagged by USADA for a failed drug test.
