Griffin with an impressive stoppage of Franca, and Koscheck cleans Trigg's clock in seconds. Good win for Daley, too, against Kampman.
Kinda bummed I ordered this event no ground work,to many extremly early fights,little competitive action and the main events where very anti clamatic.
So he looked good, huh? :think I remember when Belfort first came up in the old UFC (was that pre-Fertitta?). Good for him.
Belfort looked like the same Belfort that blitzed Scott Ferrozo and Tank Abbott in UFC 12 and 13 respectively. He dropped Franklin with a lightning fast overhand left on the inside and followed up with a barrage from the back. Vitor put Franklin OUT. Belfort is a special fighter. He has new life in his career and he may very well be unstoppable.
Vitor ended the fight in 'spectacular' fashion with three punches to the back of Belfort's head. :roll:...'great' win
I thought it was a great card. The Crocop/Dos Santos fight was classic. Belfort's blitzkrieg of Rich Franklin was vintage Phenom. It was a hell of a lot more entertaining than the Mayweather/Marquez card.
Lets not go overboard here, the 185 divison is stacked, and he had problems even making the catch weight. The #1 or 2 contender, Henderson, ground him into hamburger not that long ago. He did look good though.
I hope that they go straight to Belfort vs Anderson.... because I would hate to see that match-up derailed by Belfort losing against Hendo or someone along those lines. Belfort provides a GREAT stylistic match-up for Anderson.
