UFC 115 Liddell vs Franklin After thoughts

by MasterBlaster on June 25, 2010


These are my afterthoughts for the UFC event “UFC 115 Liddell vs Franklin”. What are you after thoughts on any of the fights? I would like to hear them. Also I would like to add I thought Chuck was doing very good in the fight and was ready to see more of the same in round 2, but didn’t want togo into the topic in much detail as I was quite mad at seeing Chuck lying on the ground clueless of what happened when the round was about to end.

@vinniecow

haha the odds were screaming out too me in the fight and in my analisis of the fight everything came up with Chuck with the advantage and I was 100% convinced Franklin didn’t have enough power to knock Chuck out, but I was hella wrong.

But the good news is I won back the money on the Lakers vs Celtics series.

@AsianMMA wow thanks, my request finally turned into a reality XD and yeah in the judges eyes, id say macdonald wouldve won 2 rounds to 1, obviously 3rd round wouldve went to condit. overall yeah experience did play a factor i mean holy shit, condit has more submission wins then macdonald has career wins lol.

Just like Chuck shouldn’t fight anymore, I think you shouldn’t bet on MMA anymore. Just sayin. But I liked your video, well done.

@Yugz13

He definitely gutted it out and deserved the win, theres a youtube clip of them cutting off the glove of Franklin and hes screaming cause its hurting so bad, obviously he has a lot of adrenaline pumping through his system when he was fighting but that was a pretty bad ass punch.

I feel really bad for Chuck Liddell. He was a great fighter. But it’s true that he seems to have lost his touch. But Rich deserved that victory. Sad to see Chuck is done in the UFC.

don’t feel bad bro, I put money on liddell also-

@AsianMMA
yeah man. the hurricane all the way! what’s his future in the UFC? he had 2-2 lost.
hahahah if that would happen. you prob wont lose your money on chuck. in my opinion that was a pretty lame punch. and put him to sleep. im almost sure that another fighter would handle that punch. (unless rashad evans xD)

@jblitz55

Haha I don’t know man, Brock scares me, I don’t have enough guts to put my money where my mouth is on that fight. Even though the odds are just SCreammming at me.

@wherewhenwhat

5 seconds! 5 seconds….. I just kept on repeating that after I saw him get knocked out. It defineatly would have been interesting to see how the fight would have played out.

Its one of those what ifs…. Like Fedor vs Arlovski, if there was no flying knee.

@crenge

Yeah, MMA a lot of unpredictability behind it but thats what makes this one of the best sports to watch. Any guy can win any given night.

@VnzlaGhost

Yeah gotta give credit to Yvel making it a very competitive fight. I was surpised with the sweeps he did. But man Ben took some HUGE SHOTS IN THE 2ND! Ben has like a reinforced granite/steel chin, now if only he could have given some of that to Chuck.

AsianMMA June 25, 2010 at 18:16

@muffinman9797

You think he did that in the first round? Cause I thought that was the best opportunity to get it done.

muffinman9797 June 25, 2010 at 18:44

Pat Barry would have won but he broke a few of his fingers on his right hand

VnzlaGhost June 25, 2010 at 19:20

hahaha nice review. and my opinion yvel should win man. ben sucks. he won whit that stupids take downs. in the stand up rothwell was dead

crenge June 25, 2010 at 20:17

I got screwed on this aswell and 114 ,lots of upsets lately!

WoOTfoOT June 25, 2010 at 21:11

I was looking more forward to the CO main event than the main event I was hoping for chuck to win but I kinda knew this would happend tho, chuck’s over and he will never be in his prime again..

wherewhenwhat June 25, 2010 at 21:36

Franklin is a lucky guy, in 5 more seconds, he would have had to suffer through R2
Hows he gonna defend a take down or head kick w/ a broken freakin arm?

Just think if Chuck had fought Tito, he wouldnt be having to retire, people would be saying Hes back ,hes back.

jblitz55 June 25, 2010 at 22:33

Don’t feel so bad man, I had such a bad night of picking fights as well. I started a blog doing picks and shit like you so if you want to see how bad I did, ill pm you my web page address. We can make your money back on Shane Carwin.

AsianMMA June 25, 2010 at 22:44

@ibsportsTV

He had a good run and good final fight, but now is the time to hang up those gloves.

AsianMMA June 25, 2010 at 23:12

@BClocals

Haha will do, ill take it into consideration.

AsianMMA June 25, 2010 at 23:14

@WPGUTROT88

maybe your right and I’m just comparing the current cro cop to the destroyer cro cop from pride.

But I still do think in the first round if Berry pounced on him, the fight would have ended.

joeguy02 June 26, 2010 at 00:02

My predictions weren’t too bad, but I had Paulo Thiago and Chuck Liddell (off the main card predictions)

gaura June 26, 2010 at 00:39

Chuck ran out of good karma.

WPGUTROT88 June 26, 2010 at 01:35

This video is a little negitive : / mirko did good man. His grappling is way improved and he was actually letting go and bombing on patt like old school mirko in round 3. Liddell did good also but he got cought AgAin lol thats too bad tho i wanted him to win.
