RIO DE JANEIRO – Antonio Rogerio Nogueira went through a “hard time” in the costly, months-long process to prove that a failed doping test had been caused by a tainted supplement. With his six-month suspension complete, though, and a new fight on the horizon, Nogueira doesn’t want to dwell on that too much. “I’m just very happy to get back again,” Nogueira told reporters, including MMAjunkie, during a media day ahead of a UFC Fight Night 137 meeting with Sam Alvey. Nogueira was among the trio of Brazilian UFC fighters, the other two being Junior Dos Santos and Marcos Rogerio de Lima, whose recent potential U.S. Anti-Doping Agency violations were traced back to contamination by Brazilian compounding pharmacies.
