You can see Rich start to through his right hand after the kick, but Le, as mentioned in his post fight interview, was waiting for Rich to do this. Le striking is quality, I really hope he does make a dent in the division even at the age of 40.

Really bad KO it was pretty hard to watch. I don't know were Franklin goes from here he said he wanted one more run at the title and this is how that turned out.
I would rather have had Franklin win I think he has more to offer right now. Le is 40 and his gas tank has looked terrible in his fight with Wanderlei and Cote.
Good win for Le though. I look forward to see who he gets next I'm sure it will be a top 10 guy. So it'll be interesting to see how he does.

That was pretty surprising to me. Not just that he lost but the way. Maybe his chin has gone the way of Liddel.

That was good timing, set up and executed like a minimalist with full weight transfer. A thinker and a pre game opponent studier.

Well Rich never had a chin like Liddel's to begin with, but I don't fault him for that. That was a hell of a shot that he walked right into. The slow mo replay showed just how much his neck snapped to the side from that punch.
Great KO

I wasn't suggesting he had a beard like Chuck just a similarity in one day taking Hendo's H-bomb to being blasted the next. Not many people had a beard like Chuck but I've never seen Rich get dropped like that. Anderson didn't do it so dramatically and I don't even think the Vitor KO was quite that sudden. Plus Cung is not really known for one punch power more of an accumilation striker.

Not to mention him landing face first on the canvas, that can't have helped him!Well Rich never had a chin like Liddel's to begin with, but I don't fault him for that.
