Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira entered UFC 190 fighting for a storybook ending to his legendary career. He didn't get it.
For most of the fight, his opponent, Stefan Struve, utilized his absurdly long reach to peg Nogueira from a safe distance. While the former Pride great occasionally worked things to the cage, he was never really able to convert it into takedowns, strikes or any real sustained offense.
The minutes wore on, and Struve's landed strikes total kept on rising. So, too, did his score with the judges. In the end, the Skyscraper would walk away with a unanimous 30-27 decision win.
