Nogueira’s Doc Opts Against Arm Surgery After Break at UFC 140

http://ppt.cc/lvD3


Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira will not undergo surgery on his right
arm, which was broken by a Frank Mir kimura last Saturday at UFC 140 in
Toronto.

Nogueira’s twin and fellow UFC fighter Antonio Rogerio “Minotoro” Nogueira
shared news of his brother’s condition Monday on Twitter after a
consultation with orthopedic surgeon Dr. John Itamura in Los Angeles.

“We’ve just had a medical diagnosis,” wrote Minotoro. “[Dr. Itamura] said
he would prefer not to do surgery, that [the bone] will calcify by itself and
that in five months, he’s fighting again.”

UFC officials referred Nogueira to Dr. Itamura, who prescribed twice-a-day
ultrasound therapy and fitted “Big Nog” with a brace. The plastic accessory
will allow Nogueira to move his arm, something the pure plaster of a hard
cast would not. Long regarded as one of MMA’s finest grapplers, Nogueira’s
submission defeat against Mir marked the first such loss of the Brazilian’s
42-fight career.

In August, 35-year-old returned from an 18-month layoff brought on by hip and
knee surgeries to knock out prospect Brendan Schaub.

This item was updated at 9:46 p.m. ET to clarify that Dr. Itamura advised
against surgery. Pictured: X-ray of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira’s right arm
