yeah I think if Frankie had won the fight it'd be a different story, but he didn't. it was a draw.
But it's definitely the point in his career that the haters should get off his ass, and give the guy the respect he deserves. he's a fuckin warrior, and if that fight didn't prove it to you doubters, you need to find something else to do, because you don't understand this stuff.
also, while I realize maynard is the worst finisher in the entire UFC ( 10 wins and 8 by decision), that's not the point. The point is how badly frankie was hurt, and he was determined enough to figure a way out to survive the round, regroup and come back with offense.
severn vs. gracie 1.
wtf are you people talking about bj-gsp 1? he wasnt falling all over the place about to be KOd.
It wasn't the best ever, but definitely the best of 2011.
Sofa King Cool - Matt Hughes vs Frank Trigg 2.
Best fight of all time.
Nog/CC, Silva/sonnen, and Huerta/guida off the top of my head.
SAKURABA SMIRNOVAS BEATS EVERYTHING EVER. No question.
BuddyRevell -Im a real boy - Big Nogs career says helloThe worse beating I remember Nog taking was against Fedor, and although he wasn't finished he lost.
What are ya? A 12er?
Matt le kat - Hughes Trigg 2 and Scott Smith vs Pete Sell for me I reckon
I always have thought that if Maynard/Emerson was a no contest Smith/Sell should have been as well, cuz Smith was finished there too.
thebasher - GSP didn't particularly take a beating - think people need to rewatch that fight
Exactly.
I think Edgar-Maynard 2 might be the greatest comeback from a beating even though Edgar didn't win.
Santiago vs. Misaki 2, crazy shit.
Lots of good comebacks though.
A better question would have been was that the best recovery of all time?
A lot of examples in this thread I don't know if I'd class as the same type of comeback Frankie had. Lots of guys have been hurt and landed a quick ko or sub but never really worked their way back into a fight the way he did.
BuddyRevell - Although it was scored a draw, are there any fights in MMA history where a fighter has taken a beating like that and did not lose the fight?
Silva / Sonnen

vs Crocop
Joe Warren's comeback against Joe Soto was pretty impressive, but it wasn't in the UFC.
