Wanderlei did win that fight. WAR WANDERLEI!!!

[lesnarUFC]

wand won

fuck judges

[heister33]

@fightertrainer it's hardly an ultimate fight with so many restraints... but oh well, still entertaining 

[fightertrainer]

@supersix84 I don't think head stomping by foot should allowed inside a ring. Maybe for street fighting. Here we need to realize it's martial art not street fighting. But it's IMO

[ukogmickey]

This guy is just a pure Warrior and an Icon of the sport for sure, He fights for the fans, He loves them cheering and going crazy. The win is just a bonus. Although I dont think he is the same fighter from Pride he should deffo be inducted into the HAF.

[supersix84]

Wanderlei is an awesome fighter, but I think that the UFC's rules kind of handicap his style. PRIDE had much better rules for Wand with the kicks and knees to the head while on the ground and such.

im not gonna lie its kinda hard to understand what hes saying i picked it up it was just a lil difficult.

[Sancarlos11b]

def thers no way franklin won all three rounds!! thatz bull shyt it was way to close of a fight to score it that way < silva had franklin in trouble mor then one and not once did frankin have silva in trouble

[MMAguy0492]

wanderlei won that fight 29-28 in my opinion... i think its the 12 pound weight cut that hurt him or else rich would have gotten knocked out

[RileyOcelot]

I think it was a draw.But I agree with wanderlei the judges have their heads up their asses.

[Kdaddy61987]

To me getting scored 30-27 by all judges shows how the ufc is corrupt. Lets be honest the rounds were so close that if there that close score it 9-9 or 10-10. Franklin,liddel and courture have alwasy gotten the better decisions and always get the lucky calls for some reason ... hmmm. I was rooting for wanda so obviously i thought he won but i can see how rich could of won but all say 30-27 in a close fight? Terrible stuff to see from a fan fan point of view.

[gunjeetsingh]

i love this guy to death. He fights for fans and doesnt care wat happens to him physically.
