Has Luis Nogueira been sparring with Dwayne Johnson?
The Brazilian bantamweight’s knockout victory at Pancrase 271 this weekend was less Rampage Jackson on Ricardo Arona and more The Rock on Triple H.
With double underhooks, Nogueira jerked Yuki Baba into the air before driving the Japanese fighter into the mat shoulders-first.
The impact of Nogueira’s slam was such that Baba was knocked out instantly and referee Jeff Mackens jumped in to save him from receiving any further damage.
