  5. elmer reyes Said,

    fue una gran pelea, sin embargo ambos demostraron que fisicamente no alcanzan dar una gran pelea para el ultimo round ,sobre todo couture , quien fue derribado 2 veces, sin embargo demostro gran abilidad en submision de defensa , (la especialidad del minotauro) ….. ambos dieron una gran espectaculo y ejemplo a los luchadores jovenes de la ufc. BUENA PELEA MAESTROS . por poco pero el resultado es justo minotauro noriega .. ganaste .

  12. Pedro of the USA Said,

    @Pedro Carvalho

    *sigh* dude chill, you just made me hate brazillians because i love the USA more than these fighters. I wil admit that in the ufc you dominate with fighters(but hey UFC was made by brazilians) secondly why’d you mention millitary, because your country would peel our uncurcumsised dicks and blow before they though of fighting us as a country (and for the record we dont have uncircumsised dicks)

    Ps thanks for ruining my name >.>

  14. Somethingmoist Said,

    @Pedro Carvalho

    It was a good fight, both of them fought very well. But there’s no need to insult USA and mock them by bring in the military and bringing up a devastating day.

  15. fedor Said,

  16. frank Said,

    Pedro Carvalho – you are such a low class piece of shit; brazilians do well in MMA, so what? brazilians should be grateful that they can both make good money and show off their talent in the UFC; we are here to celebrate MMA sports, regardless of the athletes’ nationalities; so take your hatred of USA and shove it in your ass; what does Iraq have to do with athletic competition? are you implying that the brazilian military can take on the american military? how long would your brazilian military last against the american military? your stupidity is beyond belief! sao gente como voce que dao vergonha ao Brasil, mostrando tanta falta de educacao, tanta falta de classe, tanta falta de capacidade mental; espero que o governo brasileiro nao deixa um bixo cretino como voce sair do pais ou o mundo inteiro vao pensar que Brasil e um pais de retardados e debil mentais

  17. Pedro Carvalho Said,

THE TRUTH IS QUITE SIMPLE: YOU CAN’T!! ARE YOU PATRIOTS??? SO AM I! WHAT I WANT TO SEE IS YOU TRYING TO INVADE BRASIL!! I NOW YOU WON’T, BUT IT WOULD BE TEN TIMES WORSE THAN IRAQ OR VIETNAN!! YOU COUNTRY IS NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE AND YOU AMERICANS SHOULD FUCK YOURSELFS!!!!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHA FUCK OFF YOU BASTARDS!! YOU ARE MORE STUPID THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WHOLE WORLD! THATS WHY EVERYBODY HATES THE FUCKIN’USA!!!

    But you know ufc is good but i can’t beliave that will exist another even i MMA as good as PRIDE…PRIDE was the best event that have ever exist in MMA…

  20. frank Said,

    Pedro Carvalho – you are such a no class loser, but I understand your problem; you have an anger issue and you hate americans; but this is not a political forum, and you should leave your personal prejudices in that tiny head of yours and show others the same respect that you would like others to show you; but to explain the golden rule to you would do as much good as trying to teach physics to a cow; and since common sense, respect and etiquette are not part of your upbringing, then I dare you to go to american websites like The New York TImes, The Los Angeles Times or the Washington Post where you can find your favorite topics like Iraq or Viet Nam and post your anti-american comments there to american audiences; tell americans to their faces that brazilian macho men like you hate the USA and challenge them to invade Brazil like you so bravely said above so you can show americans just what tough monkeys you are! Post your comments there and then post a link here as proof. I’d love to see how the american public will respond to your idiotic trash. Don’t have the guts to do so? I didn’t think so. Like all phony macho men, you hate the USA but are too cowardly to tell Americans to their faces, so you hide amongst like-minded non-americans in places like this MMA forum and spew anti-american nonsense safely. Bichos tontos como voce tem ciumes e inveja dos americanos e so sabem expressar o seu complexo de inferioridade por meio de polemica de besteiras. Misturando o successo dos atletas brasileiros em MMA ou qualquer outra area com a sua polemica e a melhor maneira de voce destruir o que eles so conseguiram atingir apos tanto anos de trabalho duro e sacrificios. Voce acha que voce esta ajudando a imagem do Brasil com suas besteiras? Que merda entrou na sua cabeca? Se voce odeia o USA por que voce nao volta para o Brasil e fica la?

  21. Pedro Carvalho Said,

    @frank – you are such a no class loser, but I understand your problem; you have an anger issue and you hate who hates americans!!!
    MAN, ARE YOU AMERICAN? BECAUSE I’M, THANKFULLY, NOT. I LIVE IN BRASIL, SO YOU CAN SHUT YOU MOUTH. AMERICANS ARE TRULLY WEAK AND I LOVE SEEING THEM(YOU) GETTING FUCKED UP MMA OR IN YOUR STUPID WARS!

    VIVA A RESISTENCIA IRAQUIANA! FORA MALDITOS IANQUES IMPERIALISTAS!
    VIVA BIN LADEN!!!!!

  22. Pedro Carvalho Said,

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAAH
    CRY,BABY, CRY!!!!!!!!!

  23. keith Said,

    That was a great fight between two of the best. Please do not respond to Pedro he does not think for himself he has no original thoughts and has probably not done any research on the subject he is spouting about. I love mma and look forward to new fights. I cant wait for some Aussies to get it together and mount a challenge in the UFC. These forums are a great place to converse with fellow MMA followers but sometimes the knobs invade the space. all the best

    Aussie MMA fan

  24. Ray Said,

    thats was a nice fight man

  25. Joseph Said,

    Hey if it weren’t for the USA a lot of brazillian fighters would be homeless haha! Anyways I hope Nog gets a shot at the title soon, I’d love to see him submit Lesnar if he survives against Carwin.

  26. George Bush Said,

    @Pedro

    You suck dick you snot.. ur fucking country is full of shemales.. WITHOUT US YOU GUYS DONT HAVE A HOME. UR MILITARY SUCKS LIKE SHIT.

  27. Joseph Said,

    @George Bush – Are you George Senior or George W.?

  28. Rodrigo Said,

    Brazil is the best in all fight!
    I have pride of my country and our fighters!!!!

  29. Pedro of the USA Said,

    @Pedro Carvalho
    ok buddy i feel so stupid responding to your crap but no one said US was the center of the world, actually all ive heard in that subject is what you mentioned, secondly i love it that you kno english and i dont kno portuguese, that shows and contradicts what you say that the US doesnt make an impact , it is so important that you need to learn english just to keep up. Me imagino que no es lo mismo pero podras entende un poco mas serca a tu lenguaje: calmado hombre en este sitio no ganas i te hases un menso diciendo tonterias
    i hope that making a fool out of yourself and just listining to what your parents and random people say and then shiting it out in the toillet flushing and then pasting it on this form makese you happy because atleast you get it out of your system like many people like you do before actually sparking something like US invasion of brazil

    PS your welcome ( that our country inspired you to lern english )

  30. Brazilian_Friend Said,

    I’m just a brazilian that wants to apologise for any brazilian stupid trolls. We have this kind of people here too. Too much patriotism + ignorance and you become just another stupid being in the world.

  31. forbes Said,

    wow i love the fight

  32. Joseph Said,

    I keep watching that reversal over and over again! Nog is just brilliant!

  33. England FAN Said,

    @Pedro of the USA – ENGLISH = GREAT BRITAIN
    English is not equal to USA you dumbass! England! That’s why the name of the language is English, not American!

  34. Jaime From Brazil Said,

    THE BEST BATTLE OF EVER!!!!

  35. Bruno Said,

    Issu mesmo…brasil maquina de fazer lutadores

    Eu so Strik’r

  36. Rafael Corrêa Bernardino Said,

    Whata fucka … jajajaja … GREAT FIGHT !!! Congratulations old man, but Nogueira … he’s the guy !!!

  37. Red in Denver Said,

    I have two questions:

    1. How old are you? (I would bet not over 20.)
    2. Are you aware you have ‘anger issues’?

    I like and respect both Noguiera (whom I saw fight in the Pride organizaion many times) and Couture.

    Although I am an American, I respect skill and courage; and so, unlike you, do not necessarily always root for my countrymen. Nor do I disrespect/denigrate other countries and their fighters.

    @Pedro Carvalho -

  38. Joe Said,

    Pedro Rizzo and Vitor Belfort are Brazilians, and both were beat by AMERICAN Randy Couture. So much for Brazil domination. AMERICAN Frank Mir beat Nogueira, again so much for Brazilian domination. People fight in the UFC, not countries.

  39. Dave Said,

    dude u got some serious issues

  40. Logik Said,

    @Pedro Carvalho

    lol i had respect for brazilians until your dumbass came around, ignorant bastard. brazilians are officially gay now because of you. FAGGOT!!!

  41. Eemis Said,

    @Pedro Carvalho

    Ignore this idiot. Pedro Carvalho doesn’t represent brazilians’ opinion.

    This was a great fight, they are both warrious. I am a big fan of MIinotauro. Against Frank Mir, he was just not himself, he should have a rematch, now in good health. In addition, It would be great to see him face Lesnar.

  42. Joseph Said,

    Pedro Carvalho just has to come along and ruin everything haha. Can someone delete his retarded comments please?

  43. Guguinha Said,

    Next victim: Lesnar. And after, they should call Emilianenko, americans are too easy…

  44. Guguinha Said,

    just kidding great fight Couture

  45. buy aciclovir online Said,

    yeeeee good one!

  46. MMA Supplements Said,

  48. danio Said,

  50. danilo Said,

    u need to respect you before you respect others a take that dont repect ur self

  51. timmy Said,

    Epic and Heroic fight.

  52. ChildishNobscene Said,

    Hey pedro….I just lol'd right in your face! You think america is so bad yet you speak it's language and watch it's sports? Or did you forget that the UFC is an american sport…without it all your brazilian fighter buddies would be in the same shit hole you are. A country that makes it's money by ransoming kidnapped american tourists and exporting narcotics. Why do you think these guys come over here? It's definetly not because brazil is SO great. Face it dude, this is where it's at. Every great civilization is hated during it's time. So it was with Rome and so it shall be with America. Meanwhile I'll sit in my cool, comfy house. Watch cable tv and drive to the store in my nice car on my nice roads and have everything at my fingertips. Enjoy your suck ass life Pedro ;)

  53. wtf Said,

    first pedro, fuck you im british and hate most americans but i keep it to myself because not all americans are assholes. And plus all americans stop reffering to the english language as yours, its ours! Saying that brazilians have to learn english to fit in, well why do you speak english then? And america isnt the greatest country, its the biggest target! you will one day get destroyed and i dont want that to happen but it is so easy to see. And finally i dosnt matter what colour or nationality you are, its the individual, any race can beat another it just depends on the individuals who fight!!

  54. wtf Said,

    Oh and yeh great fight, WAR NOGUERIA!!!

  55. Fabio Migotto Said,

    Great Fight, Congratulations Minotauro and Couture!!
