I don't even understand why you like that guy so much. He's mediocre at best and being fed (again) an easy opponent.

Afro's are petty bad ass, I suppose. Beards rule more though.

Every time I see Franklin get finished like that, I want him to retire. I feel like I'm watching the end of Liddell's career.

I can't even really recall another time where he was KO'ed like THAT. His last KO loss was to Vitor, and it still wasn't as brutal as what Le did. That was ONE punch.

cung le impressed me with the punch and the back flip... in between, he barely got on top of the cage. that cracked me up tremendously. and yea, rich franklin doesnt get knocked out like that... i was shocked to see a brutal one punch ko like that.

^ it did kind of look like one of those "career-killer" knockouts where the guy is never the same again (similar to Gonzaga over Cro-Cop, Evans over Liddell etc.). Time will tell, I guess.
