He had virtually nothing for Frankie, and everybody knew it immediately.
Not much different than the Nick Diaz and Rory fights....after a few minutes in, BJ, his opponent and the fans knew it was all but over, at which point BJ goes into survival mode, just trying to make it to the bell and absorbing a ton of shots in the process.
It's a shame that new fans will see his mediocre record and not understand how good he was in beating Hughes, nearly finishing GSP in a decision loss in their first fight, then dominating LW for a couple years. Not to mention losing a close decision to Machida in a fight 3 weight classes above his normal weight.
