Tyson Griffin KO's Hermes Franca at UFC 103

:
Tyson Griffin had one of the most impressive fights of his UFC career Saturday, defeating Hermes Franca by second-round knockout at UFC 103 in Dallas.

The fight wasn't quite as fast-paced and action-packed as expected in the early going, and the Dallas fans even began to boo in the first round. Franca, in particular, was taking his time in the first round and letting Griffin control the action.

But in the second round it turned into the kind of brawl that fans expected, and the crowd went wild as Franca and Griffin exchanged a flurry of strikes. And then, with two minutes left in the second round, Griffin landed a powerful right hand that sent Franca flat on his back. At that point he pounced, landed several more hard strikes on the ground, and eventually knocked Franca out.

"I had to worry about getting knocked out, and that kept me at my best," Griffin said afterward. "My corner told me between rounds be patient and you'll get him."

Griffin has often been criticized for going to decision too often, but that wasn't the case Saturday night, with a big win that improves him to 14-2 in his MMA career. For Franca, who falls to 19-8, it was just the second time he's ever been stopped.

LIC Motorsports would like to congratulate Tyson Griffin on his impressive UFC 103 win!

LIC Motorsports has gone main stream and offered a sponsorship to veteran fighter of the octagon Tyson Griffin for UFC 103. The fight is scheduled for this coming Saturday 09.19.09 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. The card is stacked and it's already a sold out arena.

Tyson Griffin (record 13-W, 2-L) will be going up against the very talented Hermes Franca (record 20-W, 7-L).

Tyson thoughts "Hermes Franca, outside from being a real nice guy, I think he is the most dangerous fighters I have fought yet. He has KO power in his hands and great jiu-jitsu."
Hermes thoughts "Tyson is an excellent and well rounded fighter who likes to push the pace. It should be an exciting fight."

This fight is big for both these lightweight talents (155lbs class); Tyson is coming off a win over Rafael Dos Anjos and a very close loss over Sean Sherk. Hermes just beat Marcus Aurelio after serving his 1 year suspension from "performance enhancing supplements". The lightweight division is getting stronger and more energetic as time goes by and these two world class athletes are the ones to watch come this Saturday night.

LIC Motorsports is proud to represent a world class athlete in a world class organization...
