what lolz it would’ve been if that had given a point deduction (and if one of the judges hadn’t been a moron) – a draw would’ve fucked up alot of things haha

Dana would of got in the ring and said “Alright, were going to have to go to a 4 round.”

An experienced fighter like Dan should know better. If you look, he just went in with all his fingers outstretched. His performance made me lose a little respect for him.

His past 3 performances have put him on my ewww list. Especially his performance at UFC 88.

Dan fought safe, I’ll say that much…he never seemed like he wanted to really engage with Rich standing

Man, Franklin does a GREAT impression of Anthony Johnson!

Franklin is a decision fighter. He doesn’t try to finish the opponents, he tries to win by points. I think fighting like that goes against everything that made MMA great and differentiated it from boxing. The point of a match should be to finish the opponent. I don’t think there should be decision victories unless it is a total devastation. Fighters should be forced to go for the win and take chances instead of fighting conservatively to win a judge’s decision.
