UFC 93: Rich Franklin “I thought I won the fight”
January 17th; Dublin, Ireland. Rich “Ace” Frankiln took center stage in the main event against Dan Henderson at UFC 93. Two legends of the UFC put on a great fight which ended in Dan Henderson’s arm raised as the winner via split decision.
Franklin left the arena seeking medical attention for his damaged cornea (not as serious as once believed) and stitches to fix up the two gashes on his head. Doesn’t sound much like a winner right? Well Franklin believes he did enough to come away with the fight.
“Honestly, I thought I won the fight,” Franklin today told MMAjunkie.com.
“I don’t think I won all three rounds, but I do think I did enough and should have won the second and third rounds,” said Franklin, who was taken down four times in the first two rounds. “He took me down, but he really didn’t do anything once he had me there. Nothing landed. I was pretty much able to get up every time he took me down. In the second round, I don’t think he landed one punch when he sat in my guard. He wasn’t real active. He just kind of covered me to make sure I didn’t get back up.”
Henderson took the split decision with scores of 29-28, 27-30 and 29-28. One judge believed Franklin took every round and the other two coming to agreement on him only winning the third. In my personal opinion I also thought that Franklin deserved the fight.
