In his 27 fight career Franca has never been submitted, he has a black belt, owns gyms where he teaches BBJ,and Griffin isnt exactly a submission expert. Although anything can happen, Im just wondering what your basing your prediction off of.

I’d rather see subs and ko’s/tko’s because most fights that go the distance ARe the more boring fights. Sometimes styles stale mate eachother so we see no action, sometimes there’s a guy who’s just running the whole fight, sometimes both guys just suck ass and can’t finish a fight and sometimes even the more exciting fights that go to a decision aren’t that exciting.

When we have finishes, we get to see a variety of subs and some kool knockouts. We get to see what kinds of strengths the fighters have because they have finished a fight. Who would have though Pual Thiago was going to tko kos? Who would have thought that aldo was going to go for a flying knee and end swanson in 8 seconds?

Subs and ko’s any day of the week for me

Your point is well-taken, made here and in other posts, but the counter-point is that decisions are not necessarily a good thing either, when you consider the “skill” level of someone like Cecil Peoples.
I agree that some of the best fights in UFC history have gone the distance [Griffin-Bonner], but I think that the majority of fans if polled would like to see things settled by either KO, submission, or ref stoppage. I’m not necessarily saying that I want every fight to end with a flash KO or some freak submission, and I agree with dbiz when he says that quick fights do not equal good fights, although I’m sure someone somewhere out there will be able to list examples of good quick fights, but I prefer things to be settled without so much “interpretation” from outside sources.

And if we’re talking about PPV cost value, I rate it by how much fun I had watching the card, not how long I spent watching the card.
As to the fight itself, I think we may get a surprise, and a Tyson win by submission…
