Frank Mir looked back at his amazing victory over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and Big Nog's decision not to tap out despite being in a very "deep" Kimura lock. According to Mir, he had a feeling the Brazilian legend is not going to surrender this way, which led to a snapped shoulder and a damaged elbow. Mir also spoke about his future inside the Octagon, indicating that he would like to face Brock Lesnar in a rubber match.

I understand what fkarab is saying, but @Nik_Hulstein, wtf is "sence"? Reply 5 months ago
since....refers to or regarding time or from past
Senses... are physiological capacities of organisms that provide inputs for perception.
Scents...smell
cents....US money among others...
I hope everyone can learn a little from my post. And you can clearly see why Americans are confused by nationalities typing in English.
Not sarcastic at all, just enlightening others. Reply 5 months ago
...but that's the fight game. Even though he didn't really have the chance to tap, Frank is probably right, Big Nog would not tap. And would have done the same thing to Mir. Reply 5 months ago

If he was too proud to tap--he would be like Tim Silvia, with his arm broken in three places--arguing with the ref for stopping the fight.
A true warrior? So everyone who ever tapped in the UFC is not a true warior and a 'bitch' by your logic?
You've been thinking hard on this. Reply 5 months ago
Go watch iceskating you wuss. Nog could have stopped that but he didnt, I could clearly see Nog's other hand and it didnt tap until the break.
I'de say Mir is the most dangerous BJJ player in the game and when he gets his next opponent in a sub, THEY WILL TAP or suffer the same fate, Brock was smart and avenged his win instead of losing an ankle. Reply 5 months ago
Honestly though, if no fighter was willing to break your arm/choke you out, who would tap to a submission? Wouldn't that make the Jits game kinda pointless? Reply 5 months ago
If you are going to soil yourself every time an arm gets snapped or a head gets KTFO'd then you are watching the wrong sport.
You hate Frank Mir for doing his job in a brillant and brutal fashion?

Joe Rogan know more fighters than anyone else and he said in a recent interview that if you start a fighting career, you have to do this all your life, that fighting is a dangerous job and you can't start fighting just for fun because it's impossible not to have health problems.
High level fighters, GSP for example, will have to go monthly, if not weekly, see a doctor. When you push your body to the very extreme limit during 10-15 years don't expect to come back to normal life and die old and healthy. Reply 5 months ago

MARTIAL ART DOESN'T MEAN COMBAT SPORT.
You guys are soooooooooo dumb if you think boxing and kickboxing are martial arts. Or you have simply never done martial art. I'm offended to hear some of you uneducated people think boxing and kickboxing are martial art. Reply 5 months ago

There there. The bad man who snaps arms has gone away. Reply 5 months ago
I just wanted to see you shut your eyes in horror. Still get the shudders over seeing an arm break?
Interestingly, the horror over an arm break is irrational squeamishness--unless you have the same feeling about a kick to the head or a knee to the liver or an elbox to the head, or knee to the head etc. Reply 5 months ago
That was a sudden and sweet reversal of fortunes. That whole card was cool, and the arm snap was the coolest, though Jones dropping the rag doll that once was Machida--was also dramatic. A standing choke to lullaby land. Jones' nickname should be The Sandman.
Many Brazilians were crushed by that snap--you could say it was the Snap! that was heard around the world. Usually Brazilans claim Jiu Jitsu as their own--even renaming the martial art which originated in Japan as Brazilian. Big Nog is much loved in Brazil, and his BJJ is legendary--with over 20 submission wins. Mir beat Big Nog at his own game. He beat the Master. Twice he finished him.
I had my hopes up in the first round with Machida, but once Jones got his hands on Machida--it was game over. I was impressed again by Jones, but at least Machida got in a few good shots--and brought Jones down to demi-godhood. Reply 5 months ago
