Rich Franklin's UFC 115 Post-Fight Comments - MMA Weekly News

[arrival35]

Rich is such a class act! True example of what the sport is all about

[villevolta]

both are the best fighters .. respect both

[Gillfury666]

He did and was crushing franklin and rich knows that but chuck fights chuck and when you do that for many years guys instead to finger you out and when you come in that way your gonna take a shot and i think if chuck were to let it cold and just pick him apart he would of won but chuck just goes after it like a mad man

[jakeisurpimp]

Franklin's respectful, which is good...But chuck did beat the shit out of him even though he was knocked out

Chuck in his prime vs rich in his prime = Chuck by KO

[ABEYTABROZ]

agreed chuck is one of the greats and could of crushed him still i think just is a little old and been knocked out a little too many times

[I3EWARExGAMERS]

I understand why Franklin fought liddel but it's a stupid reason Tito should of fought, he abandoned his team on the ultimate fighter just because he didn't want to get his ass beat by chuck again!

[cuishi14]

if anyone saw the fight rich wasnt fine after chuck got knocked out. He was in fight or flight and probably wasnt even thinking besides to react.

All these fighters are crazy

[jletwin04]

The kick happened exactly 60sec into the flight.

[MrGrease18]

chuck would of beat him if he didnt go crazy in the end of the round chuck had that round won

[crusher253]

Jim Carrey 4 life

[Delev87]

can anyone give me a link of the actual fight, no PlayStation crap. Pls

[cuzthechicksdigit]

I saw the whole Liddell vs. Rampage fight, Chuck was not impressive AT ALL that whole fight. I don't think it was the KO he recieved, I think he was already mentally out of it. I think mentality is hell of alot more than physical stuff in a fight.

[inkman38]

@cuzthechicksdigit I fought for 4 years and yes its 10% physical 90% mental. you can loose a fight before you get in the ring...

[cuzthechicksdigit]

@inkman38 Yea, I've been fighting for about 2 years now... and you are 100% correct man.

[stonebridge999]

Rich Franklin's a tough guy, but 5 years ago I think Chuck would have crushed him...

[omen13r]

@stonebridge999 doubt it still i think this fight would have went to decision though

[EoinGlynn903]

@stonebridge999 ya think?

[sparrowspointjockin]

@stonebridge999 Agree.

[SkatesBaker817]

@stonebridge999 True. But don't forget Franklin was amazing 5 years ago as well. But yes Liddel was nearly untouchable then.

[slimithy12]

@SkatesBaker817 yep 5 years ago franklin was 22 and 1 with his only loss coming to machida. franklin has always been a beast. im upset he lost to griffin on saturday though cos i dont rate griffin at all. that's the second fight he's lost now that i felt he should have won.

[jbeard100]

@slimithy12 yeah, he shouldve won the henderson fight as well

[slimithy12]

@stonebridge999 call me crazy but i dont. when chuck was on his winning streak he didnt actually beat anyone who was that great other then randy and randy beat him too. all the rest he beat are not even around today, tiger white? horn? bobalu? tito? none of those guys are really note worthy wins in hindsight ( just my opinion). chuck dominated a much weaker LH weight divison then exists now. infact he got KTFO as soon as it started getting stacked. i love chuck but he was too one dimentional.

[chrisleecole]

@slimithy12 that is very true about chuck i never tought of it till i read this.

[KidHavoc47]

@stonebridge999 Rich Franklin was undefeated in the UFC 5 years ago and was the undisputed middleweight champion.. so i don't think chuck would of crushed him, but it would of been a great fight to watch them both in their prime.

[stonebridge999]

@KidHavoc47

Yeah, that's true. But when your toughest competition is Evan Tanner and Nate Quarry, the wins don't mean as much, at least not to me. During that same stretch Chuck beat Couture twice, Tito twice, Vitor Belfort, Kevin Randleman, etc...

[KidHavoc47]

@stonebridge999 Ken shamrock? wanderle silva? controversial split decision loss to hendo? franklin has fought some legends!

[bamzoni101]

Rich Franklin Is A Warrior .

[VegasGuns]

Franklin spent 5 minutes getting his ass beat and his face lumped up... he got one lucky blind punch with 6 seconds left in the first round.. and he acts like he performed well.... what a hack.

Chuck performed better in this fight than he has in years.. I think chuck should come back. clearly he is still a force in the UFC.

[YoungKnoccOut]

@VegasGuns

I LUV U MAN thank U he WAS DOING FUCKING GREAT

I WOULD SEE IF HE WAS SLOW AND SLOBBISH

AND GET KNOCKED AROUND BUT NO HE WAS KICKEN

riches ass just look at the results man

atleast let chuck fight john bones jr that should determine

if chuck still ca compete with 2days fighters

[hellaskinnyskin]

@VegasGuns dood stfu his done welcome to the franklin ERA!

[1fightmagnet]

Don't worry about that Rich, it wasn't you that ended Chuck's career !! It was Rampage Jackson plain & simple !!

[tintindo123]

@1fightmagnet and rashad ended rampages career.

[1fightmagnet]

@tintindo123

Rampages career is over ? Since when ?

[tintindo123]

@1fightmagnet since he stopped fighting to do a movie tht was not good at all...and then comes back to get his ass kicked by rashad......which i predicted looonngggg time ago.....and who has rampage beaten tht was legit recently.....Jardine? washed up Wandy? cmonnnn the guy lost to Forrest Griffin........hes done now......he may get a couple wins against shitties but put him against Machida or Shogun and he wont last

[1fightmagnet]

@tintindo123

ROFL !!

[Vamphetamine]

@tintindo123 I wish you were wrong... but ur not :(

[dmoneyis4real]

@tintindo123 not tryin to start a beef but did u even see the movie? and if so are u just saying that cuz u dont like the guy?

[tintindo123]

@dmoneyis4real hey i saw the movie....i just didnt like it man...and i like rampage and rashad both......perhaps i may have went overboard when i said his career is over....but the fact that he hasnt beaten anyone significant since Chuck Liddell is true........and i truly believe that if he stands in the octagon against a guy like Shogun or Machida.....he will get knocked out....

[dmoneyis4real]

@tintindo123 u may be right but if he ever fights machida i think itll take longer than it did when he knocked out rashad. and just to clarify shougan lost to forrest too. yeah he busted him up but still he got chocked out and forrest beat rampage via decision. dont get me wrong i think machida can take rampage just becuz of how he fights. a knockout is possible but rampage has a hell of a chin at least better than rashads.

[michaelchimique]

@1fightmagnet how the hell did rampage end his career,that is plain retarded.

[1fightmagnet]

@michaelchimique

He took his Gold, then he never got it back !!

[michaelchimique]

@1fightmagnet  then he lost that gold to forrest griffin and never got it back

[michaelchimique]

@1fightmagnet um no i am not wrong rampage lost his belt to Forrest Griffin at UFC 86,

[michaelchimique]

@1fightmagnet no i am not retarded bitch you said rampage took his gold then never gave it back and i brought up rampage losing his belt to forrest and he never got it back and his career isn't over.so just because rampage took his belt doesn't mean shit you dumbass

[1fightmagnet]

@michaelchimique

ROFL !!

[michaelchimique]

@1fightmagnet i know you never said rampage's career is over i was just like i said before i disagreed with you saying chucks career is over by simply stating well rampage lost the belt to forrest and never got it back basically saying if rampage lost the belt and his career is over why would rampage taking the belt from chuck be the end of chucks career damnit you need to be smarter and pay the fuck attention to what people actually say

[michaelchimique]

@1fightmagnet no i am not saying his career is over i am just saying that rampage didn't end his career rich franklin ended his career you dumbass pay attention like i told you before you said rampage ended his career i disagree..it was franklin

[michaelchimique]

@1fightmagnet really im the retard your the idiot who thinks rampage ended chucks career.and retard really is that all you have?

[michaelchimique]

@1fightmagnet no bitch you are retarded mixing up what people say you illiterate bitch

[cmarshall2008]

@michaelchimique

Chuck hasn't been the same since Rampage knocked him out, thats a fact...

Rashad's KO of him didn't help either

[arrival35]

As much as I will miss Chuck fighting, he really should retire for his own safety. Rich Franklin is such a class act!

[SH1TTalkinC0DY]

OLD 

[eyetolduso]

Great job Rich!!! I'm gonna miss Chuck :(

[cardonaman]

chuck was doing great but fuck his chin cant take it anymore! =[[

[firechicken76]

@cardonaman are you kidding? he was slow and kept his hands down. I like how he was trying new stuff, but he should of been doing that stuff 5 years ago.

[cardonaman]

@firechicken76 but you have to agree though that the fight wasnt oneside till the very very end

[Legitbusiness1182]

I really think chuck lidell should retire.

[drankkkkkk]

@Legitbusiness1182 That was his last fight

[xBebiVegetax]

Rich Franklin is the man!!!
