Damn Nog! Should have Tapped!
No man he was doing well I dunno why he decided to go for a guillotine?! I had him man he shoulda keep punching him … He underestimated Mirs ground game, I’m not a big fan of Frank Mir he looked awful and got l
“I know MMA?” Kid you don’t even know grade 5 english….
that should be a ground and puund men..
Can’t fake that injury! Speedy recovery bradduh Nog the warrior!
One thing that he will be happy about… the UFCs insurance plans!
frank lives up to his claim about getting a hold of a limb and tearing it off. good thing it wasn’t nogs neck.
not tapping is a bit of pride messing with ya, or nog just doesn’t feel pain from years of training.
true
its the brizilian fighting style man the dont tap
Yea man i knew nog would never tap. Anytime mir gets a hold of a limp he plans on taking it home with him bottom line. thats at least the second arm he has broke in the ufc
was a beast of a hold he had, rolling through twice and still applying pressure..
Damn. I fing hate frank mir always have but damn that was a good sub. Still cant wait till somebody puts him flat on his face again.
You know, I hear Mir all the time saying how he’s gonna break this and that. I was totally pissed that it went that far but at the same time, Nog should have just friggin tapped. I dont even think he screamed. That guy is an animal.
I hear Mir all the time saying how he’s gonna break this and that….if a 260 lb bbj blackbelt gets ahold of any limb, getting it broken is not at all out of the question. he had already busted tim silvia’s arm back when he won the title. i think he came pretty close to ripping lesnar’s leg off in thier first fight too.
I love Mir but he might have cried if nog did that to him.
I bet Brock is happy he tapped early in their first fight
this will keep nog sidelined fir atleast 1 years easy
6 to 8 months dude.
Tap or snap, a lesser man wouldn’t of had the balls to commit
Every fighter knows that if you don’t tap, you’re gonna get something broken… You have to fight until it’s over, that’s it…
Seriously….Nog, retire man.
Seriously? You think he should retire? He did great on that fight with Mir. He got Mir rocked, and have you watched his fight with Brandon Shwaub?
That’s crazy, I was pulling for Nog.
Pete Williams, Tim Sylvia, big Nog, all have had broken limb via frank mir
Come on now.. dont act like big nog did bad. he proved that he can stand up with a guy 20 lbs more than him and he rocked mir but he just did the dumb mistake of trying to tap out him out rather than just TKO him
He was out weighed by 20 lbs. @ the weigh in.Mir dieted down.Poor Nog was @ his normal weight @ the weigh in.I hope he does fight Les again.I want Mirs head on a platter and I know it will take another And”ROID” to do it.
I got Frank in a rematch with Lesnar. He’s been looking beastly as of late.
mazagatti did save mir by taking a point and standing them up over a bs punch to the back of the head. mir prob wouldnt have gotten up otherwise. glad he wasnt officiating this fight cuz he prob would’ve jumped in and called a tko when nog had mir rocked. mazagatti is a waste of perfectly good oxygen.
Junkie.. Mir is a bad Ass when he shows up! Forty supports bisping?
mir is the best gatekeeper there is but if big nog can knock you out youre no longer a top hw imo. and yes forty supports that clown, i thought u had to be english to like that guy lol.
Mir is great with smaller heavy weights because he has a great submission game. One of the only heavyweights that does. But the reason he has been getting knocked out is he has no chin and the bigger heavy weights are too strong for him – Carwin and Lesnar etc. Even Nog almost knocked him out. Mir is done because he cant take a BIG punch anymore, even on HGH obviously!.
Woulda Sholda Coulda……I loss is a loss doesnt matter how will he was doing.Frank just proved he was a better fighter both times.And no you shouldnt get a rematch after a guy beats you twice
Sad to see Nog’s arm all busted up.This will shelf him for a while. Mir got rocked, but had the sense to stay focused and roll thru and cinch the victory. Hats off to him. Mir has shown he belongs in the running for a title shot.My pick to do some damage in the HW division.
Smaller heavyweight or not, Big Nog can strike as well as most. Mir was able to take one without getting ko”d. He got rocked but he wasn’t out. The arm break was unfortunate, but not unreasonable due to Big Nog not wanting to tap. You either sleep or get something broken if you do not tap. That’s the way it is!
I watched the fight and Nog did tap!! Just a little too late. Say what you want about Mir but he is one of the best heavyweights in the world and is on a tear right now. I think they should do Mir Vs Velasquez next.
Velasquez would **** Mir………. Oops sorry Dana
your cut!!!! BOOM!
Damn Frank! I can’t believe you did that to Nog’s arm! I wish I didn’t have to work yesterday, these are the kinds of fights you need to see live.
Wow that was sick! Sucks Nog suffered an injury like that, but he tapped too late. In fact he tapped AFTER his arm snapped! What a beast, and no sound coming out of his mouth. He just refused to tap…..
Nog should of kept on with the GnP; he had Mir laying face first. Going for a sub allowed Mir to get his marbles back. imo he was in dream land up until he locked that kimura. Good on em’ though.
Yeah, I think he also would have beaten Mir if he just boxed with him. Mir was looking so slow eating those punches. Whenever he fights at 260 lbs, I notice his striking and footwork is much slower compared to when he fights at 240. I believe his first fight against Minotauro he was 240 – thus the amazing striking that night.
thats in running for submission of the year for sure, a HUGE submission off one of the if not the best submission artists in the world, and a broken limb, damn thats freakin brutal he should fight either velasquez, or the loser of lesner vs overeem, and then if he wins that fight, he’s #2 i believe and then he’l fight the winner of dos santos/(winner of lesner vs overeem)
Slow down jeff, I agree with most of what you said, but “one of the if not the best submission artists in the world”? What are you thinking man, they’re two of the best Heavy Weight MMA BJJ artists in the world but for pure BJJ neither of them are close to best in the world.
Mir def. is the best JJ artists in the ufc.
yep iv always said Mir and B.J. have the best mma ju jitsu style out there
cant believe how this fight turned out. props to mir for fighting back and winning via sub but he must be crazy to wana fight brock again. he will lose consciousness from the brock gnp, he almost lost consciousness from big nogs striking.
Omg! It looked worse watching it three times on replay! Could be a career ender! He is savage for not tapping! I saw him tap after the break Wichita was weird! But we all now he should of tapped before his arm snapped like a chicken bone! I’m cringing thinking about it!
Im from Wichita
I was yelling so loud at the tv when nog went for that guillotine. He was honestly two hard punches away from a stoppage and decides he wants to submit him and that’s where he ****ed up. Respect to Mir tho that was a great comeback
same here. worst decision ever.
yup…all he had to do was swarm his ass like vitor belfort, but his crazy ass went for the sub…he had the knockout all day
actually he didn’t
Actually he did, wether Mir was out or not the ref was about to call that shit nog shoulda just thrown a flurry of love taps and wslked away with the W
He needed to finish but I think he decided not to give Mir damage, coz NOg is a classy guy…and paid for his mercy.
I dont think that’s the case, these two have been the best jiu jitsu heavyweights for a long time and there was always a rivalry between them when it comes to the ground game..
I’m pretty sure big nog saw the opening and went for it to prove a point and thinking that his victory would be even greater with a submission, but, as I suspected, mir’s jiu jitsu was slightly better, although he wasn’t as confident as big nog, maybe because of all the training with people who are better than him, like robert drysdale unlike big nog who trains other people and award them belts..
nevertheless, I thought big nog looked great and was really fast and strong, had he tapped earlier we could’ve seen some really exciting fights from him in the next year..
also mir should be careful, he was super slow in this fight and again had the jiu jitsu mentality to wait for something to happen, if he fights like that against cain or jds he’ll look like if he’s fighting in slow motion and although he has shown that he has a good chin taking many punches before going to sleep in the carwin and lesnar fights, he would certainly be knocked out by those two if he fights this slow again ..
I’ve gotta say I was def routing for Nog in this one but Mir did an excellent job of scrambling and weathering the storm when he got rocked. As soon as he grabbed a hold of that arm I couldn’t believe my eyes, moreover I didn’t want to believe it. I knew the moment he grabbed he would snap it. Hats off to him, and I hope Nog has a speedy and healthy recovery.
yeah… i think Big Nog’s done.
Cain would murder Mirr !!!!!
Let the Reem at Mir after hes finished with Lesnar…
If Nog could hurt Mir then Reem will Reeminate him easilly…
I keep thinking how Big Nog just looked at it and laid down like a hell of a real man,and how Titos bitch ass was crying from Lil Nogs knee to the mid section.Nothing broken but his heart.What a sissy Tito.Go away.
All my props to Big Nog.He’s The Man.Glad it wasn’t his shoulder as I first suspected.Broken arm he’ll be back training in 6 months.A shoulder may have ended his career.
yea glad it wasnt, it sort of looked shoulder looking when it first happened, but Nog can take pain, I would have tapped as soon as Mir put light pressure on my arm lol, Nog took the full force, enough force to snap his bone and only tapped when the bone broke. If it was the shoulder that would have been worse. My brother got a damaged shoulder after getting knocked by a car, year later and he still cant do any bench pressing or shoulder work or anything that works the shoulder etc…
Junkie all you do is hate I dont even read your comments anymore.
