Nogueira broken arm requires surgery (titanium plate, 16 screws) to fix after Frank Mir submission

Time for a second opinion.
When former UFC Interim heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira was given an adjustable brace and a pat on the ass from Los Angeles-based doctors, arm-chair surgeons around the world all agreed that sooner or later the day would come when "Minotauro" would need surgery.
That day was December 16, 2011.
Nogueira went under the knife last Friday to repair the broken arm he suffered against Frank Mir in the co-main event of UFC 140: "Jones vs. Machida" back on Dec. 10 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
From the Nogueira's official blog (via ESPN):
"Mr. Nogueira suffered a complex fracture to his humerus. The fracture began in the middle of the bone and extended to the elbow region. Unfortunately, the radial nerve [one of the main nerves lending a feeling of power to the hands] was damaged. The nerve is located in the area of the fracture, and the bone compressed it. Before the operation, he had very little strength in his hand and no strength whatsoever in his thumb. The operation involved an incision behind the arm. The nerve was removed from the location of the fracture and treated. The fracture was fixed with a plate and 16 screws, and now, less than 12 hours post-op, his hand functions are returning and the bone is mending. If all goes well, he'll be back to full training in the coming months and should be 100-percent to fight in six months or less. We foresee him making a complete and full recovery."
Nogueira, 35, recently returned to competition earlier this year after multiple surgeries to correct problems with his hip and knees and while he was only hit with a two-month medical suspension by the Ontario Athletics Commission, he likely won't see the inside of the Octagon for at least six months.
Too soon?

Why Nog, why!!!!!
You had him. Now, we have to listen to Mir’s garbage with that smug smirk until someone retires him.
Although I spend countless hours researching, it has taken a ‘Cali Cock-Slap’ for me to come to the realization that Frank Mir is a top HW. If not for Cali ringing my bell, I might also never have never realized that Randy Couture is MMA’s greatest achievement. Having had this sense finally rammed into me, I can now move forward and strive to breakout of my eternal bridesmaid rut.

Thats still awesome… even after surgery he can be fighting again in 6 months. I wonder if he’ll use his titanium plated elbow to his advantage. ha… Become The Crow.
Yea it was crazy
It was looking like Nog was just going to straight up woop Mir’s ass and then it all just went horribly wrong…

Because he's acting like he would have won if he went with strikes. That still takes away from Murr's win
Nothing is ever sure in MMA. Not to mention NNR seems like a rager.

Of course am making excuses.

Mir was the first man to KO Nog and now the first man to submit Nog, sort of. Mir is a BMF.
At least I am better than kevjack at making picks. I am satisfied with that.
this.
As proven, ULF has superior pick-em knowledge than I. I tip my hat to thee sir.
Don't pity those who tried and lost. Pity those who never had the courage to try in the first place.
Sort of? He did sub him. He tapped out.

He is.
It’s a shame about Nog though, I was looking forward to see him on the regular

Nog vs Mir was the worst Nog has ever looked.
He was definitely not 100%, he actually nevr looked that bad since. He did look very good in the second match but he did give the fight away, and underestimated Mirs ground game. Nog is a better fighter than Mir and the superior striker as all could see, but he gave the fight away. I have never ever had anything good to say about Mir and think he is one of the most overated fighters out there, but I must admit, that submission was pretty impressive, and that is one thing I though I would never say about Mir.
"Nog is a better fighter than Mir"
LMAO – Fail
“and think he is one of the most overated(sic) fighters out there”
LMFAO – Double Fail
You sir, are an irrational hater
Police have mounted a Phuket-wide hunt
Sorry, but if Mir was quick thinking enough to find his opening and finish it like he did, then he gets a lot of credit. He took a beating, stayed calm, found the opening and cracked home a victory
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
Is it really funny Mayhem, please tell me its funny.

the original report of him not needing surgery was laughable
And so is the idea that he will be fighting in 6 months

i'm assuming you're another one of mmamania's resident doctors,
and you know more about big nog’s case than the doctor who actually operated on
his arm who was interviewed by the website
really?
you dont need to be a doctor to have been watching Nog fight over the last few years to suggest retirement
i was talking about the doctor's report on the success of the operation,
not the losses that big nog incurred over the years
I am making reference not only to this injury but all the things he has gone through...he's taken a lot of punishment and has had many surgeries
…So why are you being a smartass?

There are negotiations being made that are going to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems. That’s all I can tell you right now. Jester, you grew up in Nevada. When we make our move there you’re going to be my right hand man. OJR is no longer Consigliari. He’s going to be our lawyer in Vegas. That’s no reflection on OJ it’s just the way I want it. Besides, if I ever help who’s a better Consigliari than my father. That’s it.

Part 3 should happen.
But not yet.

Mir subbed him and TKO’d him, sucks to see Big Nog lose twice to Frank Mir AND have Frank be the first man to stop him in a fight AND be the first man to sub him, but it is what it is.

Don’t see why Mir needs to beat him a third time. I understand that some will say Nog had a victory in hand…..but lets look at end results. Ass kicked in first fight….vicious arm break in second fight. Has he earned any kind of right to a third fight?

Nerve damage/pain is some of the very worst trouble. If you ever have it you won't argue about needing surgery.

First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now.

Mir fighting Nog again will NEVER happen
You guys with sour grapes that either suck up Nog or hate on Mir relentlessly need to just crawl back into your holes and eat your crow. Nog lost for the 2nd time. He got finished for the 2nd time so badly that it’s career threatening. Mir toasted his ass. Accept it and get over it. There is absolutely no reason why they would ever fight again. It would prove nothing. Nog’s fan boys are pathetic at this point to suggest this.
People are calling for a trilogy?

I'm a 5th degree Cecil Peoples Blackbelt. I fuck shit up ALL the time.
U never have it won
until its over. He did’t win the fight fair and square. as a matter of fact it was even more credit to Mir for submitting THE BEST JJITS HW FIGHTER ON THE PLANET while he was totally rocked. Shame on Nog, its obvious who’s the best HW jj fighter in the world. And for all you who say Big Nog made a mistake i like to look at it a different way, Mir was just better.
