I remember it was 'Chuck is done, he should retire' type of vibe..
BTW props to Rich for fighting with a broken arm in that fight, and throwing with it.
Fckin warrior..
I think this was the majority opinion both before and after. Liddell was more well known / had a bigger fan base, but that didn't necessarily mean more people thought he'd win.I honestly thought Franklin was going to batter Liddell...
I was surprised at how good Liddell looked in the first round.
I remember alot of people saying stuff like "well they are feeding Franklin to the bigger Chuck so he can get a win"
Wasn’t Chuck originally supposed to fight Tito? It’s been a long time.Franklin was a late replacement, so I can understand why people might have favored Liddell...
But Franklin beat Hammill at 205 and I had him beating Henderson as well.

Yeah, Tito backed out of the trilogy due to a neck injury IIRC.Wasn’t Chuck originally supposed to fight Tito? It’s been a long time.
