That was even more impressive than his first victory. Franklin just seemed completely caught off guard in the first fight, so you could almost rationalize it. Assuming he knew better this time around, and trained accordingly, it's amazing that Silva's second victory was arguably even more dominant even if it was longer. He looked like a dad goofing around with his kid, tapping him on the head, the stomach, the leg, Franklin always a step behind.
The Veira fight was disappointing. I expected more from him. I definitely don't see him as an elite heavyweight now. Silvia looked like a ****** out there. You could see he was thinking, about to throw a punch, or thinking about it at least, and then so slow to getting around to it frequently abandoning a strike or move halfway in because Brandon had already moved. Terrible. The Karlovic of MMA.
