    'Big Nog' to skip surgery following broken humerus

    Big Nog has decided to just "throw some dirt on it."

    The Brazilian heavyweight announced his plans to not undergo surgery in repair of the broken arm he suffered during his fight at UFC 140 against Frank Mir. Instead the 35-year-old former PRIDE champion will wear an adjustable cast and undergo two ultrasound therapies a day, a method of treatment meant to help speed up the healing time of the fracture.

    The UFC announced that they expected Noguiera's recovery to take "no more than" nine months.

    Noguiera's humerus was fractured when he failed to tap to Mir's kimura submission, forcing Mir to double down the force, thus fracturing Big Nog's right arm.
