He moved to Brazil with the hopes of making it into the national wrestling team for the 2016 Olympics. Unfortunately, this didn't work out after the Brazilian Wrestling Federation failed to get paperwork done. The eight-time Brazil national champion is currently training Charles Oliveira to hone his wrestling skills for his scheduled fight against Islam Makhachev. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Noei made a bold claim in a recent interview: "When it comes to wrestling, he is a lot more grounded than other athletes. He's strong because of that. I tried it [disabling the limbs to establish top-control] with Charles a lot now, but you can't. I'll tell you with Charles, you can't stabilize him on the ground." Noei added: "I think in that fight [vs. Islam Makhachev], Charles won't fall. He won't fall. Islam won't be able to take Charles down."
