“Perhaps one last fight against the Frank mir, to make things right, and then retire. He mentioned this well before the fight against Roy Nelson be scheduled. He simply can’t live without taking revenge for these defeats,” Guimarães told the “MMA Fighting” website. The agent met with Minotauro before he was taken to the hospital and commented on the heavyweight's situation. “He suffered a very hard blow to the head and is a little dizzy. He is very disappointed,” he revealed.

Protagonist of great rivalries during PRIDE times, Rodrigo Minotauro found in Frank mir his great tormentor inside the Octagon. The North American was the first fighter to knock out the Brazilian, at UFC 92 in 2008, and later, in December 2011, he finished him with a kimura, which ended up fracturing Minotauro's arm – who refused to tap as a sign of giving up. Since then, however, a lot has changed. Frank mir he lost his next four fights and is going through a difficult time in Ultimate. Minotauro, with the setback to Nelson, suffered two consecutive defeats for the first time in his career.
