In this amazing image, captured by Ed Mulholland for ESPN.com, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira stares at his mangled arm immediately after Frank Mir got done breaking it in the co-main event of UFC 140 last night (Dec. 10, 2011) in Toronto.
It was the first time in the legendary Brazilian's career that he's been submitted.
UFC President Dana White mentioned to Ariel Helwani that Nogueira also suffered injuries to his shoulder in addition to breaking his arm, which will require immediate surgery. In fact, "Minotauro" will be flying out with White tomorrow to get taken care of. He's expected to be out for quite a while.
After the jump is the x-ray of Nogueira's arm, which shows the brutally broken bone.

Hats off to Mir for the sick submission
Good luck to Nog getting that wing mended.
Who's faster home to first? Yadi or Torty?
damn man
Mir has Nogs number. Nog should have stuck to the GnP, tried to make a statement going for that choke and instead he may be out for a long long time. I’m more worried about the shoulder injury since it isn’t fully disclosed yet, at least the break was quick and kind of clean, they can reset it well.

I posted earlier that i thought there may be a shoulder injury too?
If yes, it is like Nog was death rolled on that arm buy a big croc/gator….. Like an industrial accident. Mir was really sick with that shit, really solid. Traditional jitz is still very potent.

it's like people seem to forget
for all the commentating and Pompousness Mir exudes dude is a monster on the ground. I’d like to see Mir V Barnett if Josh wins The SF Tourney and comes over. Catch as Catch can it would be a american grappling clinic on display.

That is a top call
I think Josh would get it, only because he is a very natural athlete and possibly with better cardio. His Catch wrestling is so active…… Again i’m immediatly under rating Mir?? Mir has really earned my respect.

I'm one of the few people here that likes Mir as a fighter and commentator. But I find it near impossible to root against Nogueira.
Not many people like him. Excellent guy and I hope he’s ok.

I like mir alot, as a fighter and commentator.
He’s a great fighter with probaly the best ground game in the hw division. His striking has come a long way too. His commentary is also very good imo, he’s very knowledgeable and he explains things in a way casual fans understand. He doesn’t stutter like brock, lol

I'm with you 100% Swede
I’ve been a Mir fan since his first M&F cover days. I actually think he is a great commentator too and am actually confused by the Mir hate that is rampant here at Mania. But you can not boo a guy like Big Nog. What a class act. And he actually looked very impressive in this fight before Frank came out of nowhere with that sub.
Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses off my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.

Totally agree with both of you
I like Mir quite a bit – especially given the brutal motorcycle accident he overcame and his dedication/desire to return to the top levels of combat sports. Intelligent and hard working – seems like a decent guy despite the arrogant face he shows a lot of the time.
Big Nog is a class act and shows a lot of respect for his fellow human beings. Not too many people who’s hand I’d like to shake, but he’s one of ’em.

Mir is the best fighter turned commentator
His commentary during the WEC days was outstanding. He’s very well-spoken, incredibly fight-smart and he says things as they are. He’s not trying to sell shirts and plug crappy shows. He sticks to the action. He’s a favorite of mine, has been through the ups and downs and I just hope that he maintains the work ethic that’s won him 3 in a row.
Five top favorite fighters:
1. Lyoto Machida
2. Thiago Silva
3. Michael Bisping
4. Chan Sung Jun
5. Frank Mir
6. You don't have the balls to post your fav fighters

Beautiful matchup
Sig Bet 3-2
Assunciao beats Yagin (Rolandando)

Le loses to Wand (DavidWS)
Bisping beats Miller (DavidWS)
Lil Nog beats Ortiz (Cruz Jackson)
honestly i doubt it
because as good as mir is on the ground, he clearly showed it last night, he didnt try to take it there against nog, and he wouldnt against barnett…nog is a better striker than barnett, and as much as nog was doing very well on the feet last night, mir is still just as good a striker if not better…i think he picks barnett apart on the feet in that fight, but i would be just as thrilled as anybody else if it hit the mat
We all do damage; character is determined by how we repair it.
Yeah that would be battle on the mat
Barnett has his biggest test in a long time as he finally is facing a top ten HW somthing his not done in a long time. You look at many of the fighters from Barnetts era like NOG, CC and Fedor and you have to kind of think the same with Barnett right? Well I think Barnett’s fighting style is better suited for for fighting in the octagon with todays rules than any of the above I mention. Against Mir it is a tough one to call as you stated Mir’s striking is better but Barnett in the grapple is hard to pick against.
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
purlease mir beat a 110 yr old nog
u really thing mir subs or kos Barnett
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
110 year old nog
just put a rising star to sleep and was beating mir on the feet before herb told him to stop hitting the back of the head and he just lost focus…he could have kept the GnP going and just picked his shots better and wouldve stopped frank

Mir and NOG are near the same age LOL
Stopping hating scott1 your sounding foolish

Or a state-mandated drug test.

Mir's attitude
I know sometimes he seems pompous when being interviewed but I think it’s really just confidence and honesty. He knows he’s good, maybe the best grappler in the game, and when he assesses other people he is brutally honest. But isn’t that what you want from a commentator?
Hell yeah
He’s like a character from Blades of Steel, but he continues to do awesome things under duress. He’s still a very good HW and i take my hat off too him. Much respect for his abilities over a very long haul……

Wrestling mistake...
Nog made a tenical mistake when he tried to sit out pulling of the switch and left that arm out there.. Once Mir had the hammer lock on the arm he wasn’t letting go.. He almost finished him before they started rolling but couldn’t get that leg over Nog’s head — regardless – nice piece of grappling. Well wishes to Nog for a speedy return.
it was this bad guys

Harder to watch than Corey Hill's leg fold
You just knew Nog was going to make him break it.
Hill's leg still takes the cake for me
The dude tried to step on that stump which is worse than what happened to Nog. Nog’s break must have sounded like a gun going off as I’ve broken the same bone and it was loud.

Make that two breaks that Herb Dean has witnessed.
This one and Mir vs Sylvia. When I saw that snap, I was like holy shit again?!
bad shit happens when herb refs a mir fight

I knew Mir had done this before
UFC 48. Mir v. Tim Sylvia. I was trying to remember the fighter Mir had done this to before. He seemed just as unsporting then as he did this time.
idiot
Nog is a fool for not tapping. This injury could plague him for the rest of his life. Totally blew the striking, could have finished Mir.
by jlbryant on Dec 11, 2011 7:40 AM EST via iPhone app reply actions
I feel like Nog was not tapping
because he had Mir on the ropes 15 seconds earlier, and had faint hope of escaping and finishing what he started. Then SNAP

Doesn’t look that bad. I thought his shoulder might have been dislocated. Nog doesn’t even care.

He really doesn't seem to I agree. Not even much sign of pain during or after the submission.

That’s how Nog works. He didn’t even flinch, just calmy tapped. The average person reacts differently when their arm gets snapped.

I thought he had that fight won though. Mir was face down and out, a few more strikes would have been enough.
He got too comfortable with his JJ and the fight, underestimate Mirs JJ big time. Mir is nasty on the ground.

Agree with the second comment definitely, I was stupidly not thinking much about the fight for ages
Then I remembered Nogueira being healthy for sure and what he’d want to prove because of the first fight. I think when the dust settles it will be the fight that is remembered the most for sure.
I don’t mind admitting that I would probably be convulsing or something if that happened. I’d be afraid of losing my arm / shoulder for months or more so i’d have tapped if there was chance to.

He just stared at it waiting for it to happen, I like Nog but come on dude your 35 pretty much washed up hip surgeries knee surgeries now you have to sit out a year for this shit.

Are you sure that that X-ray is from Nogs arm? because the kimura doesn't breaks that bone, just pop the shoulder.
That bone breaks in an arm bar.
It does when you have a monster like Mir cranking on it.

Damn, I thought the elbow usually dislocated.
Or the shoulder maybe, that’s terrible.
the last few seconds of this fight
what what i expected thier 1st encounter to be more similar to. What a beautiful display of technique there. Congrats Mir, heart goes out to Nog. Not just the break, but first sumbission…..hard hit to the friggin ego
"eat shit." billions of flies cant be wrong

That was nasty,
could be the end of his career right there. Broken arm will heal but if his shouder is all messed up, could be a problem. Shouldve tapped!!
Not so funny bone
Brutal….hate seeing limbs broken. Mir is the master of using his strength and positioning to grab a limb and then look out. Scary dude to have hanging on you. Gonna be a tough recovery for Big Nog.
big nog
Made a mistake and he paid for it…. man… he was picking mir a part … ..I hate frank mir

Funnyhing is thing is I was playing the UFC Undisputed 2 game the previous night and I was Noguira playing against Frank Mir for some reson he pulled Guard ( well i did lol) and tehn after a few submission exchanges and a grappling exchange Mir reversed me and subbed me with a nasty kimura..damni must have jinnged Big Nog lol jk
Hope Nog comes back healthier and strong again
