The UFC 147 marked Rich Franklin’s scintillating and insurmountable victory over the Brazilian legend Wanderlei Silva with a very perky and satisfied audience. We’ll tell you in short; and it goes this way:

The round one had both the men looking to find their range, but Franklin established his offense early on. A couple of head kicks with Franklin controlling the action were fascinating.  But Franklin threatened the head kick just before the bell.

The second round was pretty much of a counter attack headed by Silva and he was doing quite well. We could hear the commentators screaming out, “and here comes Silva like a mad dog over Franklin.” It was a good round for Silva while Franklin barely survived.

The third round was a bag of single shot attacks. Franklin had an arsenal of hard kicks coming and he ended the round raining down blows.

The fourth and the fifth rounds completely terrified Silva as he had nothing but some weak counter attacks and a final ‘knee drop of defeat. Franklin defeated Silva via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46).
