In a clash between former UFC Heavyweight Champions, Mir faced Brazilian legend Antonio Rodrigo Minotauro Nogueira in the penultimate bout of the event. There was some friction between the two, as Mir had become the first man to knock out Minotauro, at UFC 92.
In the rematch, Minotauro looked as though he would avenge the loss when he rocked Mir with a right hand in the first round. Turtled up with Minotauro hammering away at his head, Mir looked all but out when he managed to reverse position on the ground and lock up a Kimura.
Despite being in obvious pain, the battle-hardened Brazilian refused to tap until Mir actually snapped his arm. With this win, Mir had become the first man to knock out and submit Minotauro Nogueira. At the post-fight press conference, Dana White called it "the submission of the century".
