Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira – MMA and Grappling Guard Excellence Fight Videos

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, aka “Minotauro” is a Brazilian mixed martial artist known for his technical mastery of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He competes in the heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he is a former UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion.

He is known for his toughness in the ring along with his amazing grappling ability… especially from the guard and half guard. Rodrigo Nogueira probably has one of the best Mixed Martial Arts Guards out there… if not THE BEST. The only other would be Demian Maia.

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. He is the first and only fighter to have held Championship titles in both the Pride Fighting Championship promotion and the Ultimate Fighting Championship promotion. He holds notable wins over Tim Sylvia, Dan Henderson, Sergei Kharitonov, Mark Coleman, Valentijn Overeem, Gary Goodridge, Ricco Rodriguez, Mirko Filipovic, Jeremy Horn, Josh Barnett, Heath Herring, Semmy Schilt and Bob Sapp.

Antonio Rogerio “MINOTOURO” Nogueira Vs. Tim “THE MANIAC” Sylvia

Great UFC 81 fight displaying Nogueira’s half guard ability. He pulls half guard and nails a gorgeous sweep then finishes with a choke. The video is fast forwarded to the 3rd round.

Nogueira vs. Nogueira Grappling Match

Great grappling between some of the best grapplers and MMA grapplers in the world. From the DVD set: Half, Inside Hooks, and Downed Guard for MMA. Also check out Nogueira’s: Mastering Mixed Martial Arts: The Guard. I bought this a while ago and have been really pleased with it.

Antonio Rogerio “MINOTOURO” Nogueira Vs Dan Henderson

In this epic PRIDE FC fight, Nogueira displays his guard mastery against champion wrestler and all-time great MMA fighter Dan Henderson. Nogueira is unable to finish from his guard, you can see how dangerous he is fighting from this position

Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira vs. Iouri Kotchkine

Excellent Half Guard Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu transitions: from the half-guard to the back, from the back to the Armbar, then he flips him over and finishes it

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Antonio Rodorigo Nogueira

One of the best all time MMA fights between Fedor and Nogueira. Fedor is just not human. Nogueria still displays his amazing guard ability, yet the ground and pound excellence of Fedor is just too much to handle.

Antonio Rodorigo Nogueira vs Ricco Rodridquez

Great display of half guard… so cool. Even though Ricco won, the way Nogueira moved in half guard was impresseive.

Antonio Minotauro Nogueira Demos Armbar #2

Antonio Minotauro Nogueira Demonstrates an armbar tactic. After this demo, i was acting as tackle dummy for my girlfriend, who wasnt quite getting the move down. So Minotauro comes over to her and steps in to show the move again, on me! He spends a few minutes showing her how to focus body weight on the opponent, coming around and grabbing the arm, put his knee in the middle of my back and sat down. This flipped me over easily as he dragged his calf across my face and armbarred me solid. He left…
