UFC 64: Franklin vs. Silva

[MCx2]

God damn I just got finished watching the Sherk Fight. Now that was a pretty good fucking fight! I was surprised that little guy was as tough as he was (not sherk). I was surprised Sherk couldnt make him submit, but Sherk did dominate most of the fight regardless of that cut...which seemed to be an advantage to Sherk!

Yeah Florian showed alot of heart, but Sherk is a friggin beast at 155.

He looked a lot like a sloppy Matt Hughes. It seemed to me that Florian couldve been taken down better, but Sherk never completely closed the deal.

After all thoise hits, that skinny bastard kept coming. It was like Rocky on crack.

Sherk is not going to submit a BJJ blackbelt...



Florian needs to work on takedown defense. Florian is still a relative newbie verses sherk who has 32 pro fights under his belt.

No one can stop Sherk's takedown. That's the quickest shoot I've ever seen. And he's 5'6" and already low to the ground to begin with.

 

[AKIRA]

Eh, Florian had some good defense here and there..not sure if it was luck though.

Sherk's takedowns were pretty fucking quick.

It was quite interesting to see someone bleed that much and still have steam in the engine at round 5.

I can't remember the last time I watched a fight and actually felt bad for one of the fighters. I had predicted a KO for Silva but at no point did it occur to me that it would happen so fast.

A champion like Silva is great for the UFC's credibility amongst longtime MMA fans. Now they just need to clean up the HW division.

The potential fight with Swick is interesting. Swicks stand up is more technical than Franklins, but I still think no match for Silva's. The ground advantage has to go to Silva as well. It seems like he may be sitting on the belt for the foreseeable future.

Ditto, I figured it would go the distance and Franklin would squeak out a crooked decision. Silva is on top of his game right now. There are talks of bringing Lindland back to UFC to fight him....
