As he explained: “I only fought a three-minute fight, so I’m feeling pretty good. My wife might not be happy about Christmas but, eh, she can deal with it.”As for Nogueira, his holiday season is looking especially grim. White, who denied the Overeem withdrawal rumors, revealed after the press conference that he was planning to fly Nogueira back to Las Vegas with him on Sunday morning so he could have surgery on his injured right arm as soon as possible. He also said that he knew Nogueira was headed for trouble when Mir locked up the kimura, and nothing about the Brazilian’s history or posture suggested that he was ready to tap.”Nogueira’s a jiu-jitsu black belt, probably the best submissions heavyweight of all time, you know when you get caught in that thing to tap,” White said. “You know to tap out to that. It’s what happens if you don’t.”Mir said he knew what the likely outcome would be when he secured the kimura, and the only thing left to do was to go ahead and finish it. “I had a strong inclination that he was not going to tap, so I took a deep breath and you guys saw what happened,” he said.The injury drew pained groans from the crowd at the Air Canada Centre when it was replayed several times on the big screen. It’s the latest in a serious of injuries that have piled up on Nogueira of late, and though he hasn’t taken the knockouts that some of his contemporaries have, he might still have to sit down for a serious talk with the boss, White said.”You’ve got to look at a guy’s entire career, not just how it’s ending. Big Nog’s been in wars, man. I was at the Pride fight when he fought Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ [Filipovic], and ‘Cro Cop’ was just blasting him with kicks to the body and shots to the head, and then he ends up pulling off that submission win in the second round. He’s had a career where he’s been through wars. “Big Nog is a nice guy and a guy who I respect, and I know they get pissed off at me when I say this stuff, but again, it doesn’t matter. Unfortunately — or fortunately — I’m the one that makes these decisions. I’m going to have to sit down and talk to him. I don’t want to see him get hurt, or anyone else.”

Madonna’s second directorial venture, W.E., is the tale of two love stories. One is the controversial affair between King Edward VIII and American Wallis Simpson in the 1930s. The other is a modern-day story about a married woman who is in love with a Russian security guard. She also seems obsessed with the tale of King Edward VIII and Simpson.
The trailer for W.E., which was acquired by the Weinstein Co., proves that the film is stuffed full with emotional scenes and piano music. Madonna’s film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, received with mixed reviews.

“Enamored of surface appearances, the director and cinematographer Hagen Bogdanski make everything look good in an expensive music video sort of way and locations such as the Cote d’Azur , Portofino and assorted royal residences do nothing to detract from the air of wall-to-wall luxury,” wrote The Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy in his Venice Film Festival review.
