RIO DE JANEIRO – Dave Herman wanted to prove jiu-jitsu didn’t work on him. But he found out the hard way he was wrong, and he found out from a master.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, fighting in front of his home crowd just a mile from his gym, submitted Herman with an armbar in the second round to the delight of his home fans.
The heavyweight bout served as the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC 153 event at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
