His next title defense was against Fedor Emelianenko at PRIDE 25 where he suffered his second loss, a judges decision after Emelianenko dominated the fight with characteristic 'ground and pound' through the guard. Bounced back from the loss, he won a decision against former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez. Rodriguez managed to take down Nogueira and delivered several flying knees, but as PRIDE's scoring is determined primarily by "effort to finish the fight by KO or submission Damage" Nogueira's multiple submission attempts won him the controversial decision victory.

He then repeated this against Heath Herring in the next round to advance to the semi finals where he defeated Sergei Kharitonov with his superior boxing to face Fedor Emelianenko in the finals. The fight was markedly different from their first, with Nogueira able to avoid the damage he suffered from 'ground and pound' in their first meeting, but was stopped when Emelianenko suffered a cut after an accidental headbut and could not continue, resulting in a 'no contest'. Another rematch was thus required, and was scheduled for PRIDE Shockwave 2004 on 31 December 2004.
