I can’t believe Banuelos landed 10 strikes.

All 10 of em. That fight was a snoozer

I can

It was an awful fight, and even my friend who was watching MMA for the second time ever could tell that it was Banuelos’s fault. Not much you can do really if the other guy is unwilling to engage (see: Silva vs. Leites)

Sooo

what tattoo is Franklin getting?

by PistonHyundai on Feb 6, 2011 5:38 PM EST reply actions  

I think he should sign the transfer paper and tattoo his signature.

No way were all of Torres' strikes significant.

And doesn’t Rocha get credit for passing to North-South?

by Cunny on Feb 6, 2011 7:09 PM EST reply actions  

It depends on their criteria. Some people look at north-south as it’s own position while others view it as a side control variation.

That Torrest fight was awful.. I mean, Nick Diaz lands over 73 punches per round!!.. I cant believe Torres doesnt come to fight anymore. he lost his killer instinct! so sad!!! atleast when Chuck got KO’d a couple times, he still came to fight.

Forest Franklin 2nd round,

I don’t know why there needs to be a fight metric on that fight in general. But, I don’t see how you can even argue that round for Franklin. Forrest was better on the feet and grappled on him for a bit. I thought Franklins corner were giving him false hope for telling him he won….Any arguments to the contrary?

There shouldn’t be, and I had money on Rich

by X5-452 on Feb 6, 2011 7:51 PM EST up reply actions  

I really thought that Franklin would take it.

But Griffin clearly took the first two rounds. I don’t see how anyone could think differently.
