Decent card. I didn't know most of the Brazilians but they put on a good show. Very impressed with Werdum, but I'd like to see another win over top 5 opponent before any title shot talk. Rich looked solid and Wandy looked old. I'd like to see Rich and Bisping in the future. Regardless of who wins it definitively makes one a contender and the other a gate keepr.
On paper this was possibly the weakest UFC PPV of the last couple of years.
Credit should be given to Rich Franklin for taking the fight on short notice and also showing the grit to survive Silva's onslaught in the second round.
I saw highlights and read a detailed account of the fight and it sounds like Wanderlei looked old as he has for the last few years now.
Werdum is a dangerous fighter and a very big heavyweight, but still a douchebag ;D
Enjoyed the whole card, plus the prelims. It was close for Franklin in the 2nd, and Silva did punch himself
out, which made it easier for Franklin to take the decision.
Props to Franklin for hanging in there in the 2nd, he got caught flush and got pummeled for a bit had he not been a veteran in the sport he surely would have gotten his lights put out.
Rich Franklin is one of the better persons out there in all of the fight business.
