Even after decades in combat sports, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira continues to demonstrate that age cannot dull his skill or strength. The Brazilian mixed martial arts legend turned boxer once again impressed fans at Fight Music Show 7 in São Paulo, finishing fitness influencer Rey Physique with a clean knockout.
Still Dangerous at 49
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira took control early, using his precise boxing and composure to dictate the pace. Throughout the match, he dropped Rey Physique several times before ending the contest in the sixth round with a powerful left hand. Though the influencer managed to land a few solid shots of his own, the experience gap between the two fighters was obvious.
This marks Nogueira’s second exhibition victory of 2025, following his knockout win over Fabio Marques earlier in the year. At 49, he approaches every appearance in the ring with the same professionalism and discipline that defined his years in PRIDE and the UFC.

After retiring from professional MMA, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira smoothly transitioned into exhibition boxing, where he has maintained both his technique and timing. He made his professional boxing debut in 2022, earning a decision win against Leonardo Augusto Guimaraes. These bouts keep him active and connected to the sport that shaped his legacy.
Nogueira officially retired from MMA in 2020 after his third and final bout with longtime rival Mauricio Shogun Rua, a close split-decision that concluded their storied trilogy. His continued participation in exhibition matches serves as a testament to his lifelong commitment to competition and his enduring connection with Brazilian fight fans.
Even now, every punch Antonio Rogerio Nogueira throws reflects the same precision, patience, and power that built his reputation — a lasting reminder that true champions never lose their edge.
