That's really gay of you to even make an accusation that Franklin took a dive. UFC has nothing to gain out of that, it would take 8+ months for Franklin to heal and be in fighting shape again and work his way back up to title contention.
And by your theory that would mean that UFC would rather have a Brazilian, Portugese speaking champion that the fans hate as they ONLY like American fighters. and boo everything else.
20+ knees to the body (likely a broken rib or 2) and a nastily broken nose and you think he "took a dive"?
And yes, something was wrong, he got danced on, punched air, landed a straight left that did not hurt Silva and really pissed him off so he ran in, locked up a clinch, proceeded to land 20+ knees to the body, a knee to the chin, a knee to the nose which broke it, a high kick to the face and finally another knee to the face.
YES I WOULD SAY SOMETHING WAS WRONG.... and it will require surgery to fix it.
