Only got to watch it last night - my God that Silva is awesome
To look at him he isn't the most imposing or monstrous looking guy and in his interviews he screams like a bitch but he is lethal with his punches and those knees ....... what cam you say. Franklin knew they were coming as he felt the full force last time but he couldn't stop them - he did well to even come out for the second round IMO as he was close to being knocked out cold in the last seconds of round 1, however he was on borrowed time.
Will be interesting to see what comes of Rich now, you can put 1 loss down to being unlucky or having a bad night but when you get your ass handed to you on a plate twice by the same guy, not sure how he'll react
By far and away the best fight of an otherwise poor card IMOAt a football club there's a holy trinity- the players the manager and the supporters, Directors dont come into it, they are only there to sign the cheques " - Bill Shankly

Franklin admitted afterwards that, stylistically, Silva is just one of them fighters that has his number.
You would wonder what is there for Franklin to aim for now. Personally, I think despite the pring in Franklins step going into the right, after the first exchange, Franklin was too weary of silvas combinations and showed him too much respect. Would have liked to have seen Franklin go **** it, and start swinging for the ropes, because IMO, he never did in the fight and clearly turned away from silva when he started throwing combinations at him. Would have to assume he was either intimidated or already hurt by Silva.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

To be honest, I didn't see the first Rampage V Liddell fight.Originally posted by FatTony View PostA bit like Rampage and Liddell
The second one, well, he did knock him out, but that is normally Chuck's strength (stand up fighting). I wouldn't totally rule out Chuck in a rematch, but having said that, I do think he is very low on confidence and age is not on his side any more. Going into the octagon, he is not the Chuck Liddell of old.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

He was mine too, he can be so effective and ruthless. Silva does seem to have knocked the confidence out of him.Originally posted by Nicey View PostFranklin is my favorite fighter of al time, but credit to Silva he is most definitely the Champ in every sense of the world
Silva is now my favourite.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

I would not go that far .. thought it was an excellent fight ... Silva is the World Champ and he showed why Rich Franklin would wipe the floor with anybody else .. Silva is just that good .. I will bet my house Bisping will be servedAnybody who criticizes Klopp ever is a James Blunt. Nov 2015

He is the one UFC "star" that bugs the tits out of me. Fair dues, he is an awesome puncher but the most boring fighter I have ever seen - his fight with Jeff Monson was possibly the longest 25 minutes of my life !!!
I personally think Chek Kongo looks a lot more deadly than he actually is - huge guy but although he beat Cro Cop well (who was dreadful), I wasn't overly impressed by his performance - I like the look of the new guy Minautoro Noguera (sp?), he looks like he could do some damage but I think my favourite heavyweight is still the Pitbull ArlovskiAt a football club there's a holy trinity- the players the manager and the supporters, Directors dont come into it, they are only there to sign the cheques " - Bill Shankly

Do or die for ChuckOriginally posted by bonzai View PostChuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva announced for UFC 79 on 29th December!!!!!!!
**** me, cannot wait!!!!
I think this is a good move by Dana as I genuinely felt Chuck's heart wasn't in it anymore and if he didn't have a big challenge he could have packed it in.
Haven't seen much of Wanderlei but believe he's had a coupel of losses recently too ......... huge clash with lots to lose IMOAt a football club there's a holy trinity- the players the manager and the supporters, Directors dont come into it, they are only there to sign the cheques " - Bill Shankly
