UFC President Dana White described it as the "submission of the century", and he may not be far off. White, of course, was referring to Frank Mir's stunning submission win over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 140 on Saturday night. In the titanic heavyweight rematch, Mir battled through early trouble to lock-in a gruesome kimura that appeared to break Nogueira's arm before he could tap out. Full video highlights of the finish can be seen below.
