‘Minotauro’ Battles Back from the Brink to Win Interim Heavyweight Title

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - After surviving a horrific childhood accident that saw him get run over by a truck, it's hard to count Antonio Rodrigo 'Minotauro' Nogueira out of anything, let alone a mixed martial arts fight. So after he took a pounding from Tim Sylvia for ten minutes of their bout tonight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, it wasn't a sign to make your way for the exit; he was just getting warmed up, and in the third round, Nogueira, the comeback kid of MMA, finally found the opening he needed and he submitted Sylvia to win the interim UFC Heavyweight Championship.
