If this were a repetition of the first fight with Silva retaining the title, or Franklin would avenge his earlier loss and Silva get back to the track? As the old saying goes, "Only Time Will Tell" and on thisNight it is doing.

This last counter-attack led Silva stopped the fightas the double knee strike combination Franklin ended putting the canvas with just under four minutes left on in the second.
The Knockout:
Now there were several factors that were directly responsible for the knockout stages, which ended the fight. Some were provided by Silva, while others were even provided by Franklin. I have these factors to fighters and they are broken as follows:
Anderson Silva:
1st Exquisite techniqueHolding and hitting, as shown right, into the fight by using the left hand and returns with the stamp.
2nd Your ability to fall Muay Thai clinch and knees to take advantage of the perfect body and head textbook and is very effective.
3rd Their ability to calm during the whole fight is one of your best weapons, as it can act to see you realize all the possibilities and appropriately.
4th Their "smoothness" of technology is another greatAsset and shows a high degree of skill.
5th Your pinpoint accuracy with his knee strikes and stamp shows great skill and discipline.
6th Her hand and foot combinations were fantastic. Keep up the good work!
Rich Franklin:
1st Leave off your hat, literally!
2nd She seemed genuinely concerned about how you entered the Octagon.
3rd It allows Silva in close and clinch and strike, which causes you to lose against Silva is to getthe first time.
4th They fought fight Silva instead of your struggle.
5th They seemed to hold back a little on your punches and kicks.
My recommendations:
Here are my thoughts on how each fighter could on their skills especially in the context of this struggle to improve.
Anderson Silva:
His strategy for this particular fight was almost flawless. But here is the one thing that was really for me.
1st You need to work on yourKicks to them more efficiently and thus more effective. Your Roundhouse kicks were delivered on a slanted top, instead of the correct angle for maximum effect.
Rich Franklin:
Physically, one could clearly see that he was in much better shape for this fight than his previous fight with Silva. However, it seemed mentally that he was very anxious once the fight began. Here are a few other things I noticed.
1st You need to work on yourKicks to them more efficiently and thus more effective. Your Roundhouse kicks were delivered on a slanted top, instead of the correct angle for maximum effect.
2nd to be missing your roundhouse kicks seemed no real power. Work to develop powerful kicks.
3rd They were physically ready for this fight. However, I feel mentally that you are not quite prepared for this fight and these must be considered in the future.
Final thoughts:
The professionalism andRespect, that these two fighters showed each other and the sport are truly an inspiration to all who are watching not only train, and the MMA community, but also those who take part in any martial arts.
My tips:
Silva:
Anderson Silva will come to keep the championship in the middleweight division for years. The only way I see it is to beat, if he goes the way of the other notable champions and is in the "Hollywood" type atmosphere captured andAttitude leads and then on into the Octagon. Apart from that, he should do, and I do not foresee anyone in the immediate future, it is a run for his money.
Franklin:
Rich Franklin has returned to the drawing board and forget about Silva and the title only after at least five or six other major battles against the quality opponents to get his opinion was the right thing for the octagon and a possible rematch with Silva. His career is far from over when hetakes time to regain the old Rich Franklin.
