I think MacDonald won rounds 1 and 2. He was getting jacked up in the 3rd and lost that round but could have lasted the less then 10 seconds that was left to finish out the fight. If it went to the cards he could have won. Condit is the former World Extreme Cagefighting welterweight champion so he is not a bad person to lose for but it is ashame that he could have possibly won the fight had it went to the cards...

2 men? rear naked choke?? :O dont tell Bruce!

Round 1: Franklin with an inside leg kick early. Liddell follows up with one of his own, which is rare. Franklin clinches, but Liddell shrugs free. Liddell lands a hard body kick out of the clinch. Liddell takes Franklin down two minutes in. Franklin works free quickly. Liddell is bleeding over his left eye. Not sure where it came from, possibly an accidental headbutt. Franklin lands a left as Liddell wades in. Liddell knocked Franklin backwards with a right. Franklin answers back with a left. Less than a minute remaining. Liddell was on the way to winning the round when Franklin lands a straight right. Liddell goes down unconscious and it's over, just like that.

Winner: Rich Franklin via KO

He kicked butt in the WEC. But has not been as successful in the UFC. In the third round he looked like his old self.

"Early in the fight when Chuck kicked me in the body, when I blocked it he broke my left arm," Franklin said. "I could hear it clicking." Franklin said that he would have continued fighting into the second round despite the broken arm, but he didn't have to.

Liddell has now lost five of his last six fights, and he's been knocked unconscious in four of them.

And with those last few thoughts I am going to bed my friends. Good night :salute:

Yup. He's taken enough damage that it's hurt his ability for his brain to sustain any sloshing around inside that skull of his. He can still strike, but that's only part of the game.

I'm sooo bummed...I missed the fight too...But it's a shame Chuck got knocked OUT again...But Rich is a good guy, so I'm glad for that...But shocked still for some reason...The Iceman seems to be melting a bit lately...:O:O

Was a good hit by Rich. Chuck is a legend but getting KO'd 4 of his last 5... no bueno (It's time to retire bud)... One of the better knockouts in the last few UFC fights though. Pretty clean shot to the jaw despite the flurry that Liddell was trying to unleash. Congrats to Rich Franklin.

Was also very impressed with Mirko Cro Cop. I called him winning before the fight but that first round he wasn't lookin' too good getting knocked down twice.
