Rich Franklin lost so bad !
 

The UFC PayPerView last night was one of the best i've seen in a long time. All the fights rocked except for the main event. I'm a big fan of Rich the Ace Franklin but he got owned by Anderson Silva in less then a minute in the first round. I still have lots of respect for the man but could this be the beginning of the end for the ace ?

That's the way it usually is (which is why we stopped ordering their PPV events).

i hope not but then a again it leaves them open for franklin/silva fight ive always liked rich hes a good figher but i wish randy coutour would fight 1 more time

I'm still surprised about the whole fight.. but indeed, he got a beating..
He will definatly request a rematch to get his belt back..
But let's see who Silva will be fighting form * the comeback * :)

my bro use to shoot a model that had a husband that fought mma. it only takes a 1 second mistake to end up in bad position and be submitted. didnt see the fight but assume he tapped out?

whos got a link to the vids i can't find nothing online yet

Silva had a game plan and followed it... Rich just couldn't reach him with his knees... he should have tried to get out instead of fighting the same way.

Nah he got knocked. Both fighters are strikers. As far as I know Silva is also a BJJ black belt.

Silva used some nice mue thai knee techniques to knock him out.

Agreed! But i cant post anymore cause Danny didnt see it.. we are just about to watch the replays. :)

I had a few guys over and a 19yo girl I am corrupting.

We watched the fights and then had a gang bang!

Saturday night, Dirty D style....


Rich Franklin got his face smashed in with a knee!
Did you see his nose? It was moved over under his eye.
Nasty broken nose.

UFC ROCKS!

Um, just because your boy lost doesn't mean the fight wasn't good.

And one loss doesn't mean it's the end of his career...

Couture is out of the game, sorry :(

Anderson Silva is no joke - when he kicked the crap out of Leben in less than a minute I knew Rich was gonna have his hands full..

..and he certainly did.

If you saw Silva's past fights it was obvious who was going to win. He has belts in Japanese org Shooto and UK's Cage Rage. He's a very technical striker. He's also a black belt in brazilian jui jitsu under the Nog brothers who fight in Pride. Don't forget he use to be training partners with Wanderlei Silvia (sp?)

im glad, i never liked him

"ace", what a douche

What ever it was a great night

I quite enjoyed the main event. Franklin got his bell rung!

i didnt get to see it, still trying to find a bit torrent now.

Yeah, anybody with the nickname "Ace" has gotta be a douchebag ;)

Seriously though. I feel the same way, to come back and get the title back, he would likely have to fight Silva again and I don't think he wants to do that. He got owned like a little kid fighting a man. I predict Rich gets dominated 10/10 against Silva on any day. Yes, must be a confusing day for Rich.

The UFC is gonna change alot with all of the real fighters from other leagues wanting to enter for the big $. Those guys are gonna clean house on all these UFC champs. You'll soon be seeing other UFC champs who people percieve as invincible, get dominated like little kids by relatively unknown guys who come in from PRIDE

I never said the fight was bad.

Rich took the beating. I just wanted to see him keep the belt...
Silva rocked for sure though.

I ordinarily ignore morons but you clearly are a unique breed; an ignorant, trolling moron.

Rich Franklin is one of the most stand up, classy, articulate athletes in the UFC or any other sport in the matter. To insult the guy personally for no reason shows he is everything you will never be.

:thumbsup thanks for that, i'm happy i'm not his only fan here

only just seen this in the uk, rich wasnt even in the fight, looked completely outgunned.. he's going to have to be a lot better than that to get the belt back..

I thought the fight card was lackluster.. I did like see Silva demolish Rich though :)

any word on his injuries? Broken nose obviously but I'm guessing he may have had broken ribs aswell.

I predict a brokenm spirit as well

that was serious...
