To Nogueira's credit, the fighter didn't mention any of this to fans or media during post fight interviews.

“Nogueira had some other problems too[...]," White told The Carmichael Dave Show. "Nogueira had just gotten over a staph infection and he had some other problems but when they fought in PRIDE... PRIDE put on such freak shows. Guys fighting out of their weight class; things like that. That’s why I’m so against it. That’s how you ruin guys early. If you’re a professional athlete, time is not good to you. Time catches us all.”
