I am slightly biased towards Wanderlei, but I also think he won the fight. I think Rich won the first round, Wanderlei the second and the third was debatable. Rich only won that round because he took Wanderlei down while Wanderlei was kicking his ass. I think Wanderlei's early exhaustion was due to the fact that he had to cut weight for this fight, he's never done that before.
As for Cro Cop's fight, it was slightly disapointing, they should have given him a better opponent. I heard after the fight that Cro Cop signed a deal with DREAM in Japan, so he won't be fighting in the UFC anytime soon.
Anyone else think that was a poor decision on Saturday evening.At one point Franklin was clearly gone and Silva should have done a more clinical job than he did to finish it off.Silva was also the aggressor throughout the fight,now I'm not the best person to ask about UFC judgments and the scoreing system .I understand that points are given when a fighter is put to the ground and for punches and kicks landed and effort made but I think points should be given for having the largest balls because Silva has got a pair and Frankly they Were bigger than Franklins and that should have won it for him.This is the first I have watched a UFC card from start to finish the the Mustapha Vs Mirko Cro cop was a bit of a miss match Mustapha after 1 minute wanted nothing to do more than get the hell outta there.
