"Beating Nogueira would be so significant to me, because of who he is. He’s a legend in our sport. Whether he wins or loses his next fight, he’s the Minotauro. Brock hasn’t earned that yet. Brock’s not a legend in our sport. He’s not even an icon in our sport yet. He’s an entertainer who is famous and who’s had a slight amount of success in our sport with two wins. Nogueira, I don’t have to say anything else about him. Just say his name and you get a reaction, you see the respect. Anyone who knows even a little bit about this sport knows what he’s about."
-- Former heavyweight champion Frank Mir talks to Yahoo!Sports.com about what it will mean to him to defeat current interim titleholder Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira at UFC 92: "The Ultimate 2009" at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 27. It will mean much more to him than beating Brock Lesnar ... and it's not just because there is a belt on the line.
