Your an idiot and should be casturated so you don't reproduce. Rich Franklins nose is in peices right now, do realize how long hes not going to be able to fight? How much money he's going to loose? Think about what he did to Nate Quarry's nose and then think how longs nate quarry been out of MMA. If they were going to flop it would have been a lazy hook punch or a submission or something like that, its not going to be domination of HARD knees that punish Franklins abdomen(his chest was all red) and then break the guys nose.
You sir should be put in a room with Silva and beat the same way franklin was.

"Organized crime is still around, but the Mafia is nothing. It all gang's now baby, I'd like to see the mafia last 5 minutes in Compton"
Those gangs don't control anything besides selling crack to their neighbors or stealing hub caps.
The Mafia on the other hand is heavily involved with sports betting, laying of bets and even the occasional point shaving and fixing, especislly in a place like Vages. Don King was connected to the Mafia before he got into boxing and those connections surely follwed him. The Mafia has fixed or owned boxers contracts all throughout history.
Although I don't think they are involved with MMA or that the fight was fixed, it would not be totally inconceivable like some here claim. Altohugh i do seriouslly doubt that Franklin took a dive.

Last night I was sure that Franklin may have taken a dive too. Something was definitely wrong with that fight. Now that I am sober with a night to sleep on it I'm not quite sure what happened in that fight, it was just so shocking. One thing for sure though, Franklin was beat before he even stepped into the ring. He looked like total crap. Why were his stomach muscles twitching like that when he took his shirt off, and what was up with that black eye he had? He had that black eye in interviews for weeks before the fight, that was strange to me.
The mafia has definitely stepped into fights in the past, (look at raging bull  ) and the UFC is so shady that I wouldn't be surprised at all if the fight was fixed.

Gangs are nothing. Like someone else stated they just control drugs and hookers. The Mafia controls the basically everything that comes into this fken country. They OWN the ports, and anything to do with gambling. If you think the Mafia is dead...... think again.
Rich Franklin on the other hand, did not take a dive. He was just outclassed by a better fighter. He wasn't mentally prepared for this fight, and went in with a horrible game plan.
