      Dude - TOTALLY. Mine too.
      When that shit happened live, it was the most brutal introduction for me to the kimura. Still fucks me up every time I see it.
      Along with Jones brutally dropping Leoto after the standing guillotine (and walking away), that night was frighteningly raw to take in.

      Actually it was the worst of both worlds for Nog - he both tapped AND had it broken in the most brutal fashion.
      What was so crazy was that he'd had frank finished on the feet, had his revenge sealed, then suddenly, foolishly or pridefully, went for the takedown... And ended up on the wrong side of that fateful roll.

      @@rougeegamer98 That fight happened when I was in Highschool, MMA was getting more popular but wasn't at the level it is today. I was a big Mir fan already but everyone my age was on the Lesnar hype train because he was really big from WWE. Everyone was saying "he's too big and strong, he'll just get him down and pound him!" And I was like I hope he does cause you just wait and see what happens once Mir goes to the ground. A minute and a half into the fight and we got one of the best submissions in the UFC. Never has an "I told you so" sounded so sweet.

      I believe he actually admitted in an interview that he was hopped up on painkillers in that fight. The UFC wasn't nearly as diligent with its drug testing back then. He said he was thankful that Herb Dean spotted the broken arm because he honestly couldn't feel it. Could've taken some serious, permanent damage.

    Frank is my all time favorite heavyweight. He’s probably the greatest submission specialist in the history of MMA, and he’s got the tape to prove it. His jiu jitsu is absolutely insane. The way he scrambled out of Big Nog’s guillotine, to find a kimura, which was his deadliest finisher, and then snippety papped the legend’s arm like that. It was a thing of absolute beauty. He always played fast and loose with his standup game, which is why his record looks the way it does. His standup defense was weak, but he was a deceptively good striker. The crazy thing is if you lined him up against every member of the Gracie family in their prime, he’d submit every single one of them, or add their bones to his trophy case. What an all time great. 👏🏻

He was coming to take you out, sometimes it would lead to him getting taken out, or emptying the tank and having nothing left to defend himself. But it was always very clear Frank wanted your neck, not just the W.

    My first favorite HW was Fedor in Pride! Frank Mir was my favorite in UFC! He fought monsters!

    I loved Frank. I once got that same finish in review class he pulled on Tank. I watched it a few weeks before and never tried it. The guy i submitted was like wtf was that? I couldn't believe it worked
