Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira plans to return to the Octagon next year, but he may also make his final exit from fighting in 2015, as well. Nogueira has spent the better part of this year recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered in the lead-up to his last fight, a knockout loss to Roy Nelson at UFC Fight Night 39 in April.

He has been rehabbing the injury, and slowly returning to training, but plans on fighting again sometime in the Spring of 2015.
