Decided to make this the UFC 147 discussion thread anyway, might as well.


The original intention though was to talk about the 2000th fight in UFC history, scheduled to be between Yuri Alcantara and Hacran Dias. What a milestone, the sport's come pretty far.

Beast may be a bit of an exaggeration, lol.  He looked good was pretty lackadaisical at times and spent a lot of time backing up.  When he did come forward he was effective and able to control what was going on, but it was like Rich's jab just had him dumbfounded for some reason. He should have rolled the dice early in the third round and just said one way or another this fight ends here.  Instead he messed around outside the pocket and let franklin back in the fight. 


It was a good fight and Rich was a class act afterwards, but damn I wanted him to lose, lol.  It dumbfounds me that if we never see Wand in the octagon again that Rich Franklin IS the guy that sent the Axe Murderer and The Iceman to the pastures.  I would have never stopped laughing if someone would have said that to me in 06'.  I would be a poor poor man because I would have bet all our mortgages that would never happen.  Rich Frankilin is one of those guys that isn't flashy but his game is.
