Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

"I believe I won that fight. I'll stand behind that for the rest of my life. On the feet, it's clear I dominated the fight. I didn't just win, I dominated on the feet. I did not get hit flush on the face or the body one time the whole fight. Dan took me down on several occasions, most of which I was able to stand back up. While I was on the ground, he was not capable of mounting any kind of damage...He had to resort to kneeing me on the back of my thigh because he had no other option and didn't know what else to do...

Couple that with the fact I was head-butted twice and poked in the eye once. I would think that maybe the first one was incidental. I would assume that after you have a couple head-butts and then you poke me in the eye, perhaps as a referee you'd think about taking away a point. I don't see how a judge should give him that decision." - Rich Franklin talks about Dan Henderson at UFC 93

Wow, this is the first time I’ve ever really heard Rich sound bitter, and pissed. Don’t care to see a rematch, but I thought Rich was doing great in that fight.

For the record, I completely disagree. Hendo won a very close fight.

i actually agree with franklin and he should’ve won..

the judges give too much points for takedowns even if the fighter doesn’t do much damage there..

although that’s really the way people judge it, so i can’t complain about the decision (only on the way they are told to judge). but i really think had it been a 4 or 5 round fight, franklin would’ve KOed hendo.
