The crew at Bloody Elbow found this little nugget earlier on Tuesday; a recent Twitter post by “Little Nog” Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in which the twin brother of former PRIDE and UFC Heavyweight champion confirmed the implausible: that his brother’s badly broken arm will not require surgery. Must have been a clean (but tough) break.

The injury in question was sustained via a nasty kimura at Saturday’s UFC 140, one that happened directly in front of our staff photog, Rey Del Rio.
