UFC Fighters Big Nog and Dominick Cruz Compare Surgery Scars

There is a brotherhood among MMA fighters, as indicated by a recent picture showing UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and former UFC heavyweight champion and Pride legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira comparing scars. 

Nogueira is recently coming off surgery on his right arm.

It was broken by Frank Mir in a shocking finish at UFC 140. Nogueira had Mir seemingly knocked out, but instead of continuing the onslaught with his fists, he opted for the submission (which he claims to have done because of Herb Dean's warnings).

The loss was the first time Nogueira has ever lost by submission. Interestingly, Frank Mir was also the first man to knock "Big Nog" out. 

Cruz's less theatrical but no-less-serious injury—a broken hand—was received in a fight against Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson at UFC on Versus 6. 

The bantamweight champion even tweeted a graphic picture of his post-surgery hand back in October. 

The picture of both fighters just shows the camaraderie that MMA fighters have with one another. It shows what it is that makes the sport special. There is honor among MMA fighters; they are brothers.
