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.

Wow! It looks like the bell has actually saved Wandy.

49-46 Franklin, sadly. Wanderlei couldn't handle Franklin's jabs, it might be the end of the Axe Murderer. :~

Yeah, good reaction from the crowd, cheer in appreciation for the foreign fighter even if he beats their hero. Some of the "fans" could learn from Brazilians.

Rich Franklin is awesome.  Wanderlei is equally as awesome.  I enjoyed the fight and it was an honor to watch these two go again.

No, unfortunately the country chant is exclusively an ignorant American trait.

The main event delivered. Both fighters were awesome, both had their moments. The decision was fair and the crow was appreciative. And not even one bad move by Yamasaki.
