Antonio is the Former Pride Heavyweight Champion and has a great record
of 16-2 in MMA. His ground game is the best in the world and being
a former pro boxer he has decent stand up as well. He has beaten some of
the best the game has to offer in Heath Herring (an amazing fight), Mark Coleman
and Gary Goodridge. At Pride Shockwave he faced 27 stone monster Bob the
Beast Sapp in a phenomenal fight. Eventually the great man had to loose,
to current Pride Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko at Pride 25, but
his is still a truly great fighter.
Antonio has taken the world of MMA by storm, as has his Brazilian Top Team,
which includes legends such as Mario Sperry, Current UFC Middleweight Champion
Murilio Bustamante and his brother Rodgerio Nogueira.
