with Rafael WerneckIT was history reprating itself, and just like happened at UFC 47, Hermes Franca was told that he lost to Yves Edwards by judge’s decision. Despite the disappointmen,t the Brazilian Top Team fighter showed professional posture by recognizing Edward’s great effort. ‘I can say I gave my best and tried everything I could to beat him. Unfortunately I did not win but I hope to come back soon and fight again at Euphoria’ says Franca. The Brazilian fighter was defeated for the third time in his career. Curiously all his losses are by judge’s decision. ‘I’m a Jiu-Jitsu fighter and unfortunately I missed a few opportunitys to submit him via heel hook. But I also tried to knock him out as well’ analyzed the fighter. Keep working hard and hoping to continue being one of the best Brazilian fighters in the US, Hermes follows another Brazilian star’s philosophy. ‘Like Vitor Belfort always says: it is not because of one single loss that my career is over. I faced one of the best US fighters and I’ll be ready to fight him again anytime, anywhere. Yves, I?m waiting for you’ finishes Franca.
