Forever a fan of minotauro

Thanks for posting that. It makes me sad that some newer fans might see Nogueira as over-rated, but it really is the case that all his wars just caught up with him.

The guy is the biggest warrior in the whole sport. He's faced more top heavyweights than anyone else, and nearly always came out on top. The guy deserves so much respect, and I would hate to see it not given to him.

I think it was pretty telling that Dana didn't immediately use Nogueira's loss to Mir as a way to discredit Fedor. He could have done so, but I think even Dana has such respect for Nog that he didn't resort to such tactics.
