If a picture says 1000 words, multiply this by another 1000. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is an extremely important part of Team Nogueira in Brazil. His team had seven fighters competing at UFC 153 in Rio last weekend (Oct. 13, 2012) and all of them as well as the coaches were jubilant and highly emotional following "Big Nog's" second round armbar submission victory over Dave Herman. Watching Anderson Silva break down just goes to show how important Nogueira is to him. What do you think about this little peek inside the world of the Brazilians, Maniacs?

Despite having his arm broken in two last night (Dec. 10, 2011) at UFC 140 by Frank Mir, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is all smiles on the airplane taking him to the hospital to get surgery done. As tweeted by UFC President Dana White: "Getting Big Nog to LA to get that arm fixed. #toughasnails" Indeed.
