    I am disappoint at that last shot on the ground by Franklin. Dude's clearly the **** out - just get up and walk away.



    And bye-bye Chuck. Enough is enough.

        Yeah, that last punch on the ground was pretty bad. Hopefully, Dana won't allow a comeback this time. Strange main event for me, I like both fighters a lot. Chuck had a great run. Too bad he lived like a Rockstar, I think it cost him his last few fights.

            definitely. That was the only fight I was really looking forward to tonight and given his last couple performances against quality competition, I was expecting it to be a short night for Cro Cop. I wanted him to win, but I didn't see it happening, especially how it did. Man....I'm still pumped haha!

              Franklin's punch was lucky? I don't really think so - but perhaps you mean something else.



              Dude clearly had it locked on.

                reminds me a lot of Rashad's KO on Chuck.

                  Is it just me or did that punch look a little weak when it landed.

                    That punch normally shouldn't have knocked someone out. The angle Chuck came though after he missed his shot, he came right into with his hands down. Chuck wasn't protecting himself, so the knockout was bound to come, but I didn't think it would be from a punch with the back against the cage.

                        Lots of people have been knocked out with short punches like that; it happens. Liddell's chin is certainly suspect, but I've seen plenty of guys get dropped with short punches like that.

                        And he always comes in with his hands down when he's on the attack, just like Franklin said in the post fight interview. Liddell has always overcommitted when he goes into KO mode and leaves himself really open. Franklin saw it, locked onto him, and landed.

                        I'm just not sure where lucky comes in there. Franklin purposely punched Liddell in the face, and Liddell dropped. That's sort of the point of punching someone in the face.

                        Dude also hit him hard enough to split his upper lip big time. It was a hard shot.

                          Chuck Lidell needs to retire. His chin can't take shots no more, he is getting KO'ed left and right now.

                            Yep. He definitely came into the fight in great condition, but once your chin becomes suspect, you're done. No shame in that. Chuck's been in a ton of wars, won most of them and was the sport's biggest draw for a couple of years.

                            Time to get out now before more damage is done.

                              I feel bad thinking about the Ortiz fight.

                              Ortiz could never hit very hard, and he could never handle Liddell's style... He could also never outwrestle him. He was basically beaten everywhere...

                              Guy had an almost sure win there, and instead he gets this.

                                Overall I thought tonight card was very entertaining.

                                My thoughts:

                                - Tonight fights were great but, the refs were terrible (yet again). Yves Lavigne's call against Mac Danzig is one of the worst I've ever seen. I was actually surprised that Mac took the high road after the fight. Both him and Matt were pure class.

                                - That Keven Dornan guy should go back under whatever rock he came from. The Ricardo Funch vs. Claude Patrick and Mike Pyle vs. Jesse Lennox fights were completely horrible. The Funch fight was bad because of the up-kick warning and the Pyle fight because he was in a terrible position for that triangle. Lennox had to be out for at least 5-6 seconds before Pyle told Dornan he was out.

                                - The sky is the limit for Evan Dunham. Honestly, I never thought he would dominate Griffin like that. I don't know if I've ever seen a fighter the quality of Griffin give their opponent their back in all three rounds. I know the crowd was booing Dunham but, I don't see how anyone can fault him for not being able to finish. I'd love to see him fight someone like Clay Guida or Diego Sanchez (if he moves back down to LW) next.

                                - I also think that the sky's the limit for Rory MacDonald. I was extremely impressed with him for the first two rounds. I cannot believe he's only 20! That was crazy composure he showed after being rocked in the 3rd. I can't wait to see him fight again. Hopefully, he can recover and come back strong.

                                - Rothwell and Yvel was as entertaining as an heavyweight TUF fight. Which isn't saying much. I mean, I know their both big guys but, if either one had decent cardio they would have finished that fight.

                                - Kampmann just totally out classed Thiago. Which I was completely surprised by. I wonder who will be next for Kampmann?

                                - Barry vs. Cro Cop was great. I give Cro Cop all the credit in the world but, I really think Barry let it slip away because he was a little to over confident, IMO. I'd love to see Cro Cop vs. Big Nog next. As for Barry, I'd like to see him against someone like Todd Duffee or Meat Head.

                                - The Main Event ended up about like I expected. Chuck looked the best he has looked since he beat Wandy before he got caught. But in the end he was a little too overly aggressive for his own good and him and his glass jaw just can't throw caution to the wind like that anymore. Theres a big part of me that would love to see him retire but, the rest of me still wants to see him fight Tito. Damn his Glass chin. Also, I give Rich a lot of credit for pulling off the W with a broken arm. I did lose some respect for him because that last shot was totally uncalled for but, I've never fought before so I image that his adrenaline had the best of him. It's going to be real interesting to see who he gets next. I'd like to see him face Forrest or maybe a rematch with Wandy. If he wins a high caliber fight like that I wouldn't mind seeing him face one of the Top 4-5 LHW's (Rampage, Machida, Rashad, Randy) if he wins that, I would have no problem with him getting a title shot. Although, I honestly don't think it will ever come to that.

                                Like I said I was very entertained tonight. I'm definitely glad I purchased this PPV.
