Anderson Silva's Next Fight in Franklin's Town = A Slap in the Face?

kledster · 07-09-2007, 06:27 AM

last time UFC was in cincinnati, the camera showed silva sitting in the audience and the entire stadium erupted in boo's. i can't even imagine the amount of boo's he's going to get when he's actually fighting in the rematch with franklin. the hate is going to be crazy for him there. so what do you think about the decision to have it there? is it a slap in the face to silva?

Anderson probably couldnt care less. He fought Lee Murry in England, Sakurai in Japan etc ...its nothing new.

This fight might get a lil too biased

I see it now

Franklin coming out to Eye of the Tiger
All the red necks getting stoked
extra vaseline on franklins nose
Big John letting franklin Lay N Pray for 5 rounds

its just marketing. they will get a big draw from having it there. the ufc prob love silva by now. hes got the style they should love. Frankling couldnt lay n pray on silva. that i am pretty damn sure of! plus i dont think that is the way he wants his revenge.

I don't care where they fight...i'm afraid for Franklin's health anyway

It's clear bias, and it's things like this that make Dana, and the UFC look so shady, but what are you gonna do, ...

I hope crowds reactions dont effect the ref, who ever it is. There will be a whole lotta booing goin on, thats for sure.

first off, the UFC has never been in cinci, NEVER. They have been in columbus, which is about 100+ miles north. I was at that event and there werent actually many boos. another thing, there have been about ten threads already on this topic. and third of all for all the anderson silva nuthuggers, if hes as dominant as you all claim what the hell does it matter where he fights? if hes as good as you all say, he could beat rich in rich's basement.

and another thing, nobody cries when the ufc is in vegas and there are lots of ufc fighters from that area or are now living in that area
