Fedor Emelianeno said he was unsurprised by Antonio ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira’s recent knockout loss to Frank Mir.
The Russian has faced Nogueira and beaten him twice (with one no contest) and although he did not stop him, he says it was a certainty that somebody eventually would.
"It did not surprise me. Antonio had already been punished enough over the years, had many struggles and sooner or later that will catch up with you,”

He has had some battles and definitely taken some punishment throughout the years.

I didn't think Frank would pull it off, but I figured it was going to happen pretty soon. He's been steadily getting slower and and his capacity for punishment has steadily declined. Herring and Tim both had him at a point where the fight could easily have been stopped, and while he normally takes a lot of punishment, he had normally done so while remaining very alert. The last 3-4 fights you can see he was really out of it after eating some shots as opposed to his old self who would just continue to set up sub attempts.

IMO I LIKE THE SOUND OF KONGO VS. NOG. I THINK IT WILL MAKE FOR A DECENT MATCH.
