Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira hit it right on the head while talking with reporters in Brazil on Thursday. “I’m not quitting yet,” the former PRIDE and UFC heavyweight champion told MMAjunkie.com (mmajunkie.com). “You guys always want to put me out of the game, but I’m hungry.” He’s right about that, by the way. At least the part about us always trying to put him out of the game. At least as long as you understand “you guys” to refer to the media crowding around him, asking questions that basically boil down to, So you had enough yet? This is something we do with fighters of a certain age. Mid-30s is usually when it starts, though it can skew younger or older depending on when you started, how many fights you’ve had and how many times you’ve woken up with a great view of the ceiling at the MGM Grand. Nogueira is 37 years old.
