In December 2011, Minotauro faced Frank mir and put up an excellent fight against the North American. But when trying to end the duel with a submission, he ended up surprised by his opponent, who managed to reverse the position and end the dispute with a Kimura, which ended up breaking the Brazilian's arm.

THE FIGHT HAS GYPSY AS THE FAVORITE. HOWEVER, FRANK MIR IS A DANGEROUS GUY, HE HIT HARD AND KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT VERY WELL ON THE GROUND, BEING A NATO FINISHER. GYPSY CANNOT UNDERESTIMATE FRANK MIR. HE MUST FIGHT SERIOUSLY, WITH STUDY, DODGE AND AVOID TAKEDOWNS, RELEASE HIS JABS AND HIS TNTs and then FRANK MIR CRUSHES.
