By the time Nog got to the UFC he was already in the twilight of his career and he still became a UFC Champion. Legend

Still counts even if it’s an interim

@@mascyan7178 Nobody says it does not count, but it was an interim belt, not a regular title, it's just a fact.

@@AJproductionsfuli mean, tbf its not like sylvia was a can at the time. bro was pretty much the champ since couture and dana were arguing about paper.

[@phineasgage8252]

That sequence, pull guard, sweep, fake armbar into guilloutine is absolutely flawless. Nogueira was such a master

[@woodyboy6493]

Not against Mir though. Lol

[@Kinosis79]

Go back and watch Big Nog fight a few years before this. He was so much faster, lighter and more agile.

Minotauro mesmo não estando no auge virou campeão e colocou seu nome na história do UFC

[@billnur8941]

Да не, в юфс тоже не подарки были на самом деле уже к этому времени. Ногейра просто к этому времени бросил усердные тренировки и кайфовал с близкими, а брат близнец как раз набрал в юфс.

[@jtaco4101]

Nogueria always fought like this anyway. He was never a great athlete.

[@ThirdoptionJCSU]

Minotauro got pride belt and UFC belt he was one of the greatest fighter.Fedor said that in his carrier Minotauro was the best from all of his opponents.

[@NotoriousRichie]

OMG!!!!!! I never seen this fight; thought for sure Sylvia’s boxing would prevail, but big nog is so sick with the submissions. He tapped in probably three seconds. Fucking awesome.

[@rahulchannan6794]

I watched this fight on payperview back in the day and we all jumped out of our chairs when big nog pulled out that submission!. Still one of the best submissions in mma history in my opinion!

[@killer-v2n]

当時はPRIDE勢がUFCで負けまくってたからノゲイラがシルビアに一本勝ちして王者になった時は嬉しかった。

[@conde7404]

Minotauro foi o melhor lutador de todos os tempos na época que enfrentou Bob sapp

[@skeme99jp]

Zombie Nog still gets it done

[@popperpoppler4569]

3:45 “Sylvia’s coach told us they made him cry during camp so he must be mentally ready for this fight!” 😂😂😂 I picture his camp was just 12 weeks of his coaches hurling personal insults at him until he wept.

[@mr.krauten6144]

minotauro é o melhor lutador de toda a história

INCREIBLE....LA PELEA QUE PIERDE SILVA.......LE DICEN QUE SE ALEJE DE MINOTAURO , LA PELEA YA ESTABA GANADA , PERO NO PUDO ALEJARSE.....BUENA GUILLOTINA DE MINOTAURO. ..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you by any chance start cheering out loud for noguiera when he got him down in the third, right before the choke?

Funny how couture couldnt submit Sylvia lol

What do you mean. Could you elaborate please

[@Mroctopus2988]

@@mindrover777 Look at how he just leaves his arms on him when he has Nog on the ground hurt. He doesn't try to go for mount or finish him with ground and pound.

One example of how Sylvia was not a very good fighter!

[@donavonhoward114]

What are you talking about dude? You're talking about a UFC champion at heavyweight. I'm not saying he was an all-time great fighter, but he was definately one of the best heavyweight's of his era. You young people crack me up. Tim Sylvia was a dangerous striker, and had really good grappling skills. He just faced a guy that was better at grappling than he was, and he got caught. Silvia was dominating one of the greatest heavyweight's of all time until he got caught by Nog.

[@donavonhoward114]

Lol, so by your logic, was Mirko Cro Cop also not a very good fighter? He also got submitted in a fight he was dominating by Big Nog. Big Nog was a submission specialist, and one of the best to ever do it. Honestly, he might be the greatest submission specialist to ever live because he managed to pull off so many miraculous comebacks with his grappling skills.

[@primate4]

@@donavonhoward114 Sylvia was overrated, PERIOD! He’s also a real jackass in person! I’ve met him twice! Dana won’t have anything to do with him because he tried to become a premadonna! He was mediocre and the only advantage that he really had was his size, not skill!

[@DeanMartinson-ci3lk]

Long boring match I hated Tim
