Everybody who thought Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira would lose his UFC 140 rematch to Frank Mir by submission, please raise your hand.

Somehow, with what UFC President Dana White called the "submission of the century", Mir battled back from the brink to emerge the stunning victor over "Big Nog" on Saturday night. A post-fight hospital visit confirmed what many were already suspecting -- Mir snapped Nogueira's arm in two with his fight-ending kimura.

Check out the gruesome damage after the jump.
