In Salmon's defense, he hung there with Rashad. Despite not being better conditioned and definitely outmatched on his feet, Salmon got a couple of solid takedown on Rashad, who is known as being a great wrestler. He put up a fight, I don't think it was "bullsh*t" that they gave him to Rashad. Remember, he was the one that asked for the fight. He said it himself.
I think Salmon will be back. I'm glad he was okay, that was a brutal knockout.
I don't blame Salmon or Rashad for taking the fight man. You take whatever fight the UFC sets in front of you. On the other hand, I think it was a bad reflection on Silva, Dana, and the organization to set up a fight like that. Hell, if I wrestled Diego or Hughes in college, does that mean I should be able to fight them if I ask? Salmon didn't belong in there.
i think it's homo of Dana that Heath is on Fight Night and he's not the main event. i just can't stand how Dana ignores the rest of MMA. if he wanted to become the ultimate, he'd do more to unify the sport and promote cross-promotional cooporation than just ignore the fact that his shitty fighters pale in comparisson to all the others around the world!!!
at the very least, at least he's one of the televised fights!!!
Wow, is all I have to say to this post, after watchin Heath fight I could go for a takedown on Heath and take him...Why is everyone feeling sorry for salmon??? its not like he had to take the fight!!!

hey, all of Heath's previous fights where proof enought to justify my statement. you can't always know what is going to happen, and honestly, i've never ever seen heath look like that. and i've been watching his fights since his first one in PRIDE. he just wasn't good. and worse, he shit on MMA by saying "i wanna keep the fight standing for the fans, nobody wants to see us on the ground"... he said that...
i don't know what happened, but heath is done.

Alright fair enough, I wouldn't have made the comment however that performance was soo pathetic...I wanna c Jake O'Brien now get KO'ed, which wont be hard if ya seen what happend after heath landed that jab!
Fisher looked sloppy most of the fight, Franca was throwing some wild punches. He was able to finish Fisher, but he didn't have enough power (Even behind those crazy swings) to drop him. That was quite disappointing - If you've got a guy on the ropes, you better be able to put him down. Franca can beg all he wants, but does he really think he can step in with guys like Penn, Gomi, or Sherk? Ha... Yeah, that dye must've seeped into your brain.
franca has gotta be the sloppiest fighter in the lightweights. he has no idea what is happening when he throws a punch,looks very amateur. i don't think he would have a chance with fisher next time.
maybe i was just pissed to see fisher lose................
I recorded this for a friend after seeing this incredible knockout. I thought it would be interesting to remove the audio and add "Mad World" - As in the Gears of War video game commercial. Some will think its stupid but some will think its funny:
