Nogueira is a Brazilian mixed martial artist known for his technical mastery of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

He rose to prominence in the Japanese PRIDE Fighting Championship promotion, where he was the PRIDE heavyweight champion from November 2001 to March 2003, as well as a PRIDE FC heavyweight grand prix finalist.

At UFC 81 Nogueira defeated Tim Sylvia in the third round with a guillotine choke to become the interim heavyweight champion. He would end up losing the belt after being TKO due to strikes at UFC 92 by the hands of Frank Mir.
