I gotta disagree a bit on this one. I was pretty let down by the fight for several reasons. Frank was clearly trying to knock Renzo out on his feet. He showed no interest doing anything other than kicks, punches and knees/defense on the ground. On their feet, there was plenty of action, because Frank was constantly coming forward and throwing. While they were on the ground I think Frink was actually telling Renzo he was going to get this fight back to stand up and knock him out. Renzo wanted NO part of it (or getting a submission of his own for that matter) so he went for the takedown and worked for absolutely nothing but a safer mount position...where he seemed perfectly content to stall. Frank started throwing some knees from the bottom...most likely to Renzo to move or do something...standup...ANYTHING. They struck the back of Renzo "THE DEAD FISH" Gracie's neck and shoulders. He rolled over and pulled his hands to his nose of all places. They stopped the fight and gave him five minutes to recover. He was pulling the "I can't see" routine... blinking and looking wild eyed.I don't know how many times they asked him if he was read to fight... He had that "I see dead people" look on his face. It was like watching a kid trying to play sick from school. He entertained no notion of fighting again. In my opinion, Frank played it rough and it backfired. I was so pissed at Renzo. He wouldn't even grant an interview after the fight. He wasted my time and the crowd's money. Sad. The crowd boo'd the hell out of him and rightfully so. Frank will be just fine. Next time his oppenent might actually come to fight.
