Antonio "Nino" Schembri (born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He is a former member of the Chute Boxe Academy and currently trains with the Black House Team.
The highlight of his career came with his upset victory over Kazushi Sakuraba at PRIDE 25. Sakuraba dominated the entire fight but was carelessly caught with a knee to the face, knocking him out. Sakuraba would avenge the loss at PRIDE Critical Countdown 2004 with a decision win.
Schembri is as famous for this upset win as he is with his trademark sideburns.
