Lil Nog is only 1 yr younger, and barely won a decision over a very mediocore Jason Brilz.

the nogs were born 40 years old. Getting run over by pickup trucks just excellerated the aging.

I thought we were going to see less pay-per-views and more free fights? Does it just seem like there are more since the takeover?

99% of the cards show the prelims free on Facebook and Spike.

Not what I'm talking about here. When the news broke that UFC bought WEC, it was said on here that they were maxed out on pay-per-views. That we would see this huge influx of free fights on Spike and VS. We have seen a few on VS, but nothing like was predicted and it feels like every 2 weeks there's a ppv.

Franklin did brutally KO Chuck with a broken hand. He looked pretty good in the Forrest fight.

He just fights tough guys. All killer, no filler with Franklin

Lil Nog has really struggled with wrestlers, Franklin should definitely try to exploit that.

Apparently the advance for this card before the addition of Tito was 4,500 tickets sold, in a 20,000 seat arena. Ouch.

He was also close to being finshed himself.

Honestly I havent seen that one yet.

I'm a Rich fan, for some reason I just don't think he comes out on top. Hope I'm wrong.

And whoever just said it, spot on about Rich taking nothing but tough fights. Murderers row of opponents for him the last 3-4 years.

I could be mistaken, but I don't remember him ever being in danger of almost being stopped. Chuck did have a few nice flurries, though.
I'll rewatch it when I get home.

Dana just said Chael Sonnen & Chris Leben both called to see if they could take the fight against Rashad Evans. +2 to both of these dudes.

"Plan "D" was Vladamir " - Dana

That's who I thought would step in.

His arm had just been broken by the kick and he was visibly hurt. Chuck came in for the finish and that's when Rich landed the punch. Can't imagine him being able to go much more than that with his arm.

I love Rich. Too bad he can't fight at 185 lb now. He can beat anyone not named Vitor or Anderson.
