    we saw vintage belfort. it went how i thought it would. franklin is too basic and solid. Neither his talent or his tools strike me as special. Franklin is a quality fighter, simply not born with the talent of a Silva, Belfort etc

    Franklin got clipped behind the head by a looping punch like GSP did against Serra. Sucky way to get dropped to a knee. After that, it was academic for Belfort. It's nice to have a challenger for Silva at 185, though I think Silva will slaughter the Phenom.

    I went with Franklin to decision this fight, because I was not sold on the new and improved Belfort yet. Now I am.

    Silva has a challenger now. Silva v Belfort asap. Henderson can fight Nate in an eliminator. I want to see if Belfort can rattle that chin.

    Vitor could've done what he wanted, when he wanted with Franklin last night. The second he opened his hands up he completely overwhelmed him. The difference in class was immense.

    Vitor deserves a shot at Silva.

    But if I were Dana I'd milk his star power for a couple of more eliminators before getting obliterated by Anderson.
