Sorry guys had to do it, But ive seen alot of people say they new franklin would win and it was once sided , well before the fight alot of people say that ko loss hurt him and that mac was a genius on the ground and was going to sub rich. Like i said before the fight Rich's stand up is too good for Mac and Rich's ground game was also good, good enough to not get subbed but him, i loved the part where franklin has macs back and refused to sub him, he just wanted to beat on him, like franklin said why sub someone when you can ko them, thought the finish was bullshit the fight should have been stoped, but oh well. i thought the fight would end in the 1st but give it to mac he is a tough guy, but just wasnt that tough,

and lilmac where are you, own up you lost

I predicted Franklin by Nate Quarry-like KO, but the actual finish was pretty much as definitive.

You could tell that Mac was outclassed. I wanted JMac to win but out of the gate you could tell Rich's striking was too much and Rich's size advantage wasn't gonna help JMax get the fight to the ground early where he wanted it. Props to Rich for a great showing and being a class act after the fight.

That was an old fashion beating, not to often do you see a fighter give up and tell his corner he is done. Mac looked wrecked after the fight

well shit man watch the fight again, at the end when rich got up off mac he was saying no more no more waving his hand and all, i told everyone rich was going to be hard to take down, he has good balance for only standing on one leg, he just gave mac a ass beating, rich is good on the ground and good standing, i thought it was funny when rich got on top of mac hit him a few times and was like ok you can stand back up lol, richs ground game is just as good he could have subed him just chose to beat on him

Jason McDonald was clearly outclassed, Rich beat him in all aspects of the game because Rich is so strong and well rounded. Like I said before, Jason just has good subs but his grappling is average, and Rich owned him. no standup either. but i hope he gets back on track.

just loved how people were saying that mac was going to sub rich because his head wasnt there, and this and that and rich will be the upset of the night, but i just watched the fight and chuckled because rich outclasses him on the ground and standing, rich is not the best middleweight but he is fun to watch and a great guy, the way he priased anderson and told people not to boo him and not to boo mac and the way he was telling the ref like what the fuck why are you not stopping this , specailly when mac was on the ground saying no more no more, but its great to see franklin dominate like that again

If Rich is bar far the best middleweight then why does he have a new nose? Franklin was a huge favorite in this fight. I don't really see what the point is. I guess you are just trying to rub it in the face of the like 4 people that actually chose MacDonald to win. I think pretty much everyone and their mom knew that "Ace" would take this fight. MacDonald's only shot was a miracle sub, but Franklin has never been subbed before, so the odds of that were very slim.

I give credit to Mac for not getting knocked out like Quarry. Outclassed.
