The other co-main event at tonight's (Sat., Dec. 10, 2011) UFC 140: "Jones vs. Machida" pay-per-view in Toronto featured a rematch three years in the making, as Frank Mir and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira met inside the cage once again to settle their differences.
Nogueira claimed he was suffering from staph before the first fight and therefore was not 100-percent, which essentially tainted Mir's victory. Mir, of course, was not happy about this and wanted to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's the better fighter.
Did he ever.
It didn't come without adversity. Nogueira nearly knocked Mir out but once the fight went to the floor, Mir worked his way to a kimura and after rolling a bit with the jiu-jitsu legend, he torqued and broke "Minotauro's" arm.
Wow.
Mir was relaxed early. Nogueira the opposite, as he pushed forward with punches, a few of which found their mark. This led to a clinch, initiated by "Big Nog."
They battled back and forth for position, Mir using his superior size and strength to keep the edge for the most part. Finally, Mir used his weight -- all 260-pounds of it -- to fall forward into a takedown and half guard.
That lasted about eight seconds.
Once they got back up, Nogueira started landing some solid elbows. They separated and Nogueira landed another punch that put Mir on Queer Street. The follow up shots looked like they nearly put Mir out but the referee never stopped it.
Mir used the position to latch in a kimura and after a short battle on the ground that included a few flips and near reversals, Mir got the tap.
UN-BE-LIEV-AB-LE.

Jason Miller is a retard with straight hair and curly teeth.Hes a couple of dolly mixtures short of a quarter and spends his time swinging of a tyre attached to a rope! I should have listened to the MMA royalty on here,especially Jay,ANS and ViolentMike who kept reminding me that Mikes wrestling was the best at 185 and 205 and that if Greg Jackson,Randy Couture,Blackhouse,ATT or team quest ever needed any tips on game planning Wolfsalir is just a phone call away

I agree
Nog didn’t tap until AFTER it was broken. I love big nog, but ouch… not worth it. Both of these guys are amazing, and Nog… in my opinion, grew too over-confident during the fight and got caught because of it.

Me: "I agree it's an important position, but for 10 seconds with nothing coming from it but a reversal? I guess you would have to give Fitch major points for reversing the most dominant position from such an excellent BJJ fighter!....And I don’t think it makes much sense to add bonus points for taking someone down, just because he has good TD defense, as you can see by my sarcastic point about reversing back position against BJ. Very silly point by you and not very objective at all."

I hate Rogan...he was already looking to start making excuses at the beginning of the fight
“Mir looks dry, I don’t think he’s warmed up yet”
Very first words he said when the fight started….I guarantee you if the fight had went on longer he would have started talking about Mir’s leg saying “Mir is wearing that thing on his leg, it must be injured and that’s why he came out dry cause he was too injured to warm up and get a sweat goinng” Oh now he looks gassed. Mike, if you don’t warm up before a fight you get gassed very easily and you use up all your adrenaline quickly and this is what’s happening to Mir. “Thats leg is definitely affecting Mir’s performance Mike, and the fact he came out so dry for not warming up, it has caused Mir to start cramping up, cause it looks like he’s cramping up Mike”

Knew he was gonna win, but I’ll admit to jumping around my living room when he was face down/ass up, and just about KOd. For Big Nog’s sake I can only hope the damage wasn’t too extensive…brutal HL reel shit there!

You were waiting for that weren’t you? Stockton to Malone set up right there. But a bone is a bone, even if its broken, I’m hoping for his sake the tendons aren’t shredded. And I’m sympathetic for Nog, so I’m hoping against hope that it looked more like a dislocation …or I could be more drunk than I originally thought..

Mir did exactly what he did against Carwin though. Nog had that fight wrapped up, he then tries submitting him.

I love Mir
I know in that respect I’m big time in the minority but nobody can deny that we just saw a huge moment in mma history…
Sakuraba beats Silva, Aoki would beat Miller and Vitor Belfort didn't deserve his title shot - In my opinion, the craziest points I've read on this site...
Absolutely beautiful, Mir just made my year by snapping Nog’s arm and basically stamping himself in the history books once again. All the haters and Nog lovers must be in tears but like Frank has said in the past either you tap or it snaps the guy is the most devestating submission fighter ever ya’ll must have forgot but Nog never will.

Awesome submission by Mir,
but I really think this added muscle weight Mir carries around is detrimental to his fighting. He seems so slow and gasses very quickly in his last few fights, I think he should lose at least 10 pounds, thoughts?
When a fighter says something in poor taste I usually forward it to UFC’s customer service e-mail to make sure it is addressed and they are either fined or fired, depending on how severe.
I don't know.....
It’s not like HW fights usually last very long. I think size is pretty important.

Hey, I wanted Frank Mir to win too, but...
I think he got very lucky in this fight. It seems to me that Nog had it won but somehow allowed himself to get in a tussle on the mat which somehow led to Frank Mir miracalously ending up with Nogs arm right in front of him. It’s hard to pinpoint any clear mistake Nog made, nor do I see any brilliant maneuvering by Mir to earn that position that led to the finish. Nogs got to be beside himself.
Nog made a couple mistakes
1. Gave up position to go for submission — should TKO’ed Frank instead of trying to prove a point.
2. During Mir’s escape, Nog left his right arm dangling under Mir. Mir capitalized, rest is history.
by AngryTwinkie on Dec 11, 2011 2:45 AM EST up reply actions
I’m not sure Nog going for the submission was him trying to prove a point. I think he saw that Mir was not going to be easily KO’d and felt compfortable trying to submit him.
Yes, he did leave his arm out, but, I think that was a fairly minor mistake for such a huge punishment. I just feel that Mir didn’t earn that armbar and was a fairly minor mistake on Nog’s part that probably happened in about two seconds when he didn’t even have time to think about it. That’s probably very common when fights “get out of hand” in either brawls on the feet or two guys rolling around on the ground.
I’m sure if they fought 100 times they would probably be pretty even on wins and in my opinion i think Nog would have the majority of them.
Don’t get me wrong though. Frank Mir is awesome and this goes to show that he is still at the very top of the division. But, I think he would admit you don’t usually get that big of a return with the situation he was in toward the end of the fight.
man that was big nog mistake...
Because he got mir almost out then he follow him to the floor big mistake because he did try the guillotine choke man .. big nog pick mir a part that as suxs he got his arm broke
