2011 knockout of the year ?

heavyweight fights go bad, they go really, really bad. So please, Santa Claus. Make this fight an ending to 2011 that we will want to remember.

Fewer injuries to champs: In MMA, injuries are inevitable, but 2011 was an injury-palooza. Jon Jones' hand, Georges St. Pierre's knee, Anderson Silva's shoulder, and Frankie Edgar's back and rib had effects on four different title bouts. Cain Velasquez's shoulder injury, sustained in 2010, put the heavyweight title on ice for more than a year.

(Photo) Boxing: LVPD Release Pic of Floyd Mayweather’s Jail Cell ?
Posted By: Sabrina B. @gametimegirl
In the last few days, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a voluminous amount of requests pertaining to any and all information related to Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s three month stay at the Clark County Detention Center.
You can check more details of Mayweather’s future prison stay HERE & the pic of the cell after the jump…
So many requests were received, that the Las Vegas PD released a photo of a similar jail cell which is going to house Mayweather in the administrative segregation unit.
On Wednesday, Mayweather was sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to a reduced charge of battery domestic violence and no contest to two harassment charges.
The charges stem from a September 2010 physical confrontation involving the mother of his three children.

UFC 140 Report Card Grades
UFC 140 grades
 |  | Chan Sung JungYou can't do better than what the "The Korean Zombie" accomplished Saturday. (Unless your name is Duane Ludwig, and you share the same record.) In consecutive fights, Chan Sung Jung (12-3) has locked in submission and, with his seven-second knockout of Mark Hominick on Saturday, KO of the year candidates. Jung, 24, finds himself among a pool of contenders in the featherweight division as he looks toward the coming year. He stepped into the cage facing a no-win situation, but somehow managed to come out way ahead. |
 |  | Jon JonesI've already gushed about Jon Jones' great year, so I won't go there again. That said, the most educational part of his campaign occurred Saturday. Though it lasted less than two full rounds, Jones, 24, showed -- and proved -- he possesses the composure of a champion. After all, it's one thing to dominate when things go your way. It's another thing entirely to have a fast, sharp, uniquely styled opponent unlock your timing, crack you across the jaw, and make it so that there suddenly feels a very real possibility that winning isn't the only potential outcome. I thought it was interesting that Jones (15-1) stuck to his game plan. He didn't shift gears and wrestle. Rather, he continued to stand in front of Machida, waiting for a fight-changing shot to land, which one did, of course. There has been criticism leveled at Jones in the wake of the win for the way in which he let Machida drop to the floor, but he did nothing wrong. In fact, Machida's camp said they don't have a problem with how Jones handled himself in the cage, and they pointed to instructions from referee "Big" John McCarthy, who told fighters not to release submissions until he intervened. |
 | | Frank MirBack from the brink, that's what this was. Whether or not you think Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira made a tactical error by trying to finish Frank Mir (16-5) with a submission instead of continuing to punch, Mir deserves much credit for 1.) surviving and defending 2.) reversing position and going on the offensive and 3.) maneuvering into a position to finish and never letting go. It can be stated now, unequivocally, that Mir ranks as the most vicious submission fighter in MMA. He popped Roberto Traven's elbow. Disfigured Pete Williams' shoulder and elbow. Cracked Tank Abbott's ankle. Snapped Tim Sylvia's forearm. And produced a clean break of Nogueira's arm. Brock Lesnar should consider himself fortunate to be able to walk. Speaking of Lesnar, whispers are Mir, 32, could be in line to jump into a fight against Lesnar on Dec. 30 if Alistair Overeem is unable to compete on New Year's weekend. He took a few shots against Nogueira and was hurt, but it's unlikely he took enough punishment to keep him out of a fight later this month if that's what he wants. |
 | | Antonio Rogerio NogueiraIt was must-win for Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, 35, and he came through as best as he could. "Little Nog" ripped Tito Ortiz apart for an early TKO, setting himself up with an opportunity to climb back into title contention. Not only did Nogueira (20-5) handle Ortiz without any trouble, he looked capable of doing something similar against better opposition -- and there sure is plenty of that in front of him at 205 pounds. Nogueira actually encountered an Ortiz who was willing to mix it up with him, which folded perfectly into the Brazilian's game plan. Nogueira subsequently cracked Ortiz to set up the first-round finish. What's next? How about a rematch against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua? Their fight in 2005 remains one of the best bouts in MMA history. |
 |  | Lyoto MachidaThe man was choked cold and he registers an A-? Hey, Lyoto Machida was terrific in the opening five minutes, connecting on punches and establishing range as well as anyone who's fought Jones to this point. He quickly decoded Jones' length and rhythm, and soon darted in and out of range, throwing power punches when he chose to attack. There were rumors that Machida was ill before the bout (his management vehemently denies there's any truth to the whispers) and I must say, he appeared fit from where I was sitting. In fact, this was as good as I can recall seeing Machida since he lambasted Rashad Evans in 2009. When Machida was hurt and he fell to the canvas, Jones opened him up with a cut. He also had difficulty seeing out of his right eye, and, according to his manager, considered quitting. Yet he chose to continue, to which Jones rendered the 33-year-old former UFC champion unconscious. |
 |  | Antonio Rodrigo NogueiraB is for "broken," as in Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira's right arm which was snapped clean by Frank Mir. "Minotauro" is in Los Angeles, having flown from Toronto on UFC president Dana White's private plane, where it's expected he'll undergo surgery on Monday. The injury is not expected to be career- threatening, which based on everything I know about the man isn't the least bit surprising. This is, after all, the same person who recovered and actually became more physically active after being run over by a truck when he was 9 years old. Nogueira is among the most courageous fighters in the sport, one certainly willing to take a beating in the name of attempting to win, and people closest to him expect he'll fight again. Some have argued that Nogueira made a horrible tactical error after hurting Mir by trying to finish with a choke. I don't think that's fair. I'm never going to question Nogueira when it comes to attempting a submission, especially after he had established control of the fight and hurt Mir. The 35-year-old former Pride and UFC (interim) heavyweight champion botched the finish, allowing Mir to recover and lock in his own Kimura. It was painful watching Minotauro's limb yanked backwards the way it was. Even worse were what seemed like hundreds of replays, which showed the pop of the arm over and over again. This is the kind of finish that would have forced lesser men to quit the sport. Nogueira, 33-7-1, is not one of those people. |
 |  | Mark HominickIf B stands for "broken" in the previous entry, then C means "class act" in this one. What a horrible set of circumstances on Saturday. Fighting in his home town for the first time since his trainer and mentor Shawn Tompkins passed away, Hominick's nerves got the best of him and he walked forward, hands down, only to take a punch that put him on the canvas. This all happened in seven seconds. After the fact, Hominick (20-10) fully credited Chan Sung Jung for pulling it off. Hominick admitted to fighting out of character, meaning he was tense and overaggressive in his attempt to find a finish. He will be sad for a few days -- that's normal -- but it behooves Hominick, 29, to remember how Tompkins would have picked him up. That's the legacy Tompkins left, one dedicated to good will and always staying positive, even in the worst possible moments. |
 | | Brian EbersoleBrian Ebersole, by the skin of his teeth. Taking his third straight fight in the UFC means the competition will increase, putting the veteran's UFC run to the real test soon enough. Ebersole (49-14-1) meant to slow down the fight by clinching Patrick and grinding the clock down. That's pretty much what he did, resulting in the only poor televised bout on the card. The 31-year-old fighter looked average against a game opponent, but not one who ranks near the top of the welterweight division. |
 | | Claude PatrickOn the wrong end of what Lorenzo Ferttita labeled a "bad decision," Patrick, 31, found it difficult to free himself from Ebersole's grasp. He had his moments, especially when he went after submissions, but it wasn't enough to sway the judges. For what it's worth, I agree with Fertitta on his scorecard, but neither fighter looked very good. The loss snapped a three-fight win streak for Patrick (14-2) inside the UFC, and 13-fight win streak overall, which has to be considered a setback even with Fertitta's public support. |
 |  | Tito OrtizTito Ortiz showed up ready to brawl with Rogerio Nogueira. He stood in the pocket and fired punches with power, but that's never been the strength of his game and he paid a price. A vicious knee to the body, which Ortiz said incapacitated him, dropped him to the canvas. It was eerily reminiscent of the strike that Rashad Evans used to put Ortiz down in August, as well as the knee that Lyoto Machida unloaded in their fight three years ago. Ortiz (16-10-1) has one bout remaining on his UFC deal, and there's little reason to suspect Zuffa won't make good on it. The 36-year-old "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" -- forget this "People's Champ" nonsense -- is far removed from his contender days, yet the idea of seeing a swan song fight Rich Franklin next summer would be intriguing for his long-time fans |

See UFC 140 results: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira's broken arm stare (Pic) & video
rint
to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."
- James M. Barrie
In this amazing image, captured by Ed Mulholland for ESPN.com, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira stares at his mangled arm immediately after Frank Mir got done breaking it in the co-main event of UFC 140 last night (Dec. 10, 2011) in Toronto.
It was the first time in the legendary Brazilian's career that he's been submitted.
UFC President Dana White mentioned to Ariel Helwani that Nogueira also suffered injuries to his shoulder in addition to breaking his arm, which will require immediate surgery. In fact, "Minotauro" will be flying out with White tomorrow to get taken care of. He's expected to be out for quite a while.
After the jump is the x-ray of Nogueira's arm, which shows the brutally broken bone.

Hats off to Mir for the sick submission
Good luck to Nog getting that wing mended.
Who's faster home to first? Yadi or Torty?
damn man
Mir has Nogs number. Nog should have stuck to the GnP, tried to make a statement going for that choke and instead he may be out for a long long time. I’m more worried about the shoulder injury since it isn’t fully disclosed yet, at least the break was quick and kind of clean, they can reset it well.

I posted earlier that i thought there may be a shoulder injury too?
If yes, it is like Nog was death rolled on that arm buy a big croc/gator….. Like an industrial accident. Mir was really sick with that shit, really solid. Traditional jitz is still very potent.

for all the commentating and Pompousness Mir exudes dude is a monster on the ground. I’d like to see Mir V Barnett if Josh wins The SF Tourney and comes over. Catch as Catch can it would be a american grappling clinic on display.

That is a top call
I think Josh would get it, only because he is a very natural athlete and possibly with better cardio. His Catch wrestling is so active…… Again i’m immediatly under rating Mir?? Mir has really earned my respect.

I'm one of the few people here that likes Mir as a fighter and commentator. But I find it near impossible to root against Nogueira.
Not many people like him. Excellent guy and I hope he’s ok.

Harder to watch than Corey Hill's leg fold
You just knew Nog was going to make him break it.
Hill's leg still takes the cake for me
The dude tried to step on that stump which is worse than what happened to Nog. Nog’s break must have sounded like a gun going off as I’ve broken the same bone and it was loud.
Nick Diaz - Undisputed 2011 No-show Champion
Make that two breaks that Herb Dean has witnessed.
This one and Mir vs Sylvia. When I saw that snap, I was like holy shit again?!
idiot
Nog is a fool for not tapping. This injury could plague him for the rest of his life. Totally blew the striking, could have finished Mir.
I feel like Nog was not tapping
because he had Mir on the ropes 15 seconds earlier, and had faint hope of escaping and finishing what he started. Then SNAP
The UFC - home of the worlds greatest injured champions
Doesn’t look that bad. I thought his shoulder might have been dislocated. Nog doesn’t even care.
Bobby Southworth
He really doesn't seem to I agree. Not even much sign of pain during or after the submission.
Crazy.
