Indeed many thought that Silva would beat Franklin. And in fact, that’s exactly what he did. Silva is a Muy Thai specialist and he came out and quickly imposed his game on Franklin. Franklin has historically been a very smart fighter and extremely perplexing to his opponents. But unfortunately, whatever training and game plan he had strategized prior to the fight proved ineffective. Silva tied Franklin up in a Muy Thai clinch early in the 1st round, and after repeated knees to the body, Franklin dropped his hands to protect his body. Which led to Silva taking the knee to Franklin’s nose. Which broke it clearly. Franklin went down shortly after that and almost assumed the fetal position. The ref stopped the fight immediately sensing Franklin’s inability to defend himself. So the title belongs to A. Silva. Franklin will be back, and he’s learned a valuable lesson.
The Sean Sherk –vs- Kenny Florian fight went the distance and thanks to an elbow from the bottom position late in the 1st round or early in the 2nd, Sherk bled all over the place. Sherk’s scalp area around his right temple bled soo much, it looked like someone had spilled 3 gallons of blood on the Octagon floor and on both fighters. But since the blood wasn’t in Sherk’s eyes and he wanted to continue, they let it go on.
Although neither fighter was at any health risk, unknowing watchers may deem the amount of blood spilled as being too barbaric to allow to continue.
Anyway, Sherk is insanely strong, and he’s got a pretty viscous ground and pound, but he couldn’t put an end to the ever tough Kenny Florian. Florian had a slight chance each time the fight was stood back up (I think Sherk took him down 6 times), but Sherk would just take Kenflo back down and the process would repeat itself.
The upcoming Pride should have some good fights and the next UFC will have Brandon Vera in it, so I’m definitely stoked about that one.
Ever wanted to kill your boss? Ever thought about it? Well, next time you have that urge, just go here:
What happens when you are a reporter and you stand near the military while they are burning drugs? You get high, really fast, that’s what.
Well, it worked for me.
The Dog Whisperer on South Park? LOL!
This dog is freaky... and funny… but very freaky.
