Frank Mir was all but done, and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira appeared he’d even the score in their long-awaited rematch.
Instead, after being rocked early and seemingly a blow or two away from being battered into unconsciousness on the mat, Mir escaped, slapped on a kimura and then rolled with his the fellow jiu-jitsu ace before breaking Nogueira’s arm to force the stoppage.
