Tanner vs. Franklin
Shaq is usually in the front row at UFC, and given the way the Heat got destroyed tonight, he may as well have just come to the show instead.
Alright, fight's on ...
Round 1 -- Just sizing each other up in the first minute. Ditto the second minute. Tanner's patient, and can absorb an absurd amount of punishment. More of the same in the third minute and the crowd's getting a bit impatient. Same in the fourth. Someone's going to have to make a move if they want to win the round on the scorecard. Tanner nails Franklin with about 45 seconds left and almost gets him in an armlock. Franklin gets in a few shots at the end and Tanner's bleeding from his ear. tough call, but the right that floored Franklin was so nasty I have to give Tanner the round.
Round 2 -- Tanner takes Franklin down early and Franklin's in the guard. Franklin gets out, a minute in. Franklin lands a knee to the head, Tanner stays up. Tanner's cut. Franklin's getting a bit more aggressive. Still lots of circling. The cut looks like one of those ones that aren't that bad, but its affetcing his vision. Round's over, I'd give this one to Franklin.
