GSP Rocks UFC 83

The fight between Rich Franklin and Travis Lutter was impressive and rather high-energy, but I have question what Franklin's strategy and interest in ending a fight since Lutter looked to be a dead man walk for the last minute or more of the before, before finally getting KO'd by Franklin. Franklin could have very easily came at Lutter hard with a few good combos (which I know he's more than capable of) and knocked Lutter out much earlier, but instead he played it safe, I just went in with one-twos, creating distance again, and setting up for another small shot or two, even though Lutter could hardly hold his hands to his face and had no chance defending himself. I'm not sure Franklin was scared to go in too fast and get caught, or if he just wanted to postponed the inevitable of a KO win over Lutter, but either way it was a little bit of a lack-luster and anti-climactic way to end an otherwise really good fight.
