UFC 56 full force Live Odds

UFC 56: Full Force was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on November 19, 2005. It was held at the MGM Grand Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, United States.

The UFC middleweight champ Rich Franklin puts his belt on the line for the first time against a top contender, Nate Quarry. Quarry comes into the fight with only one loss in his career and if he leaves with only one loss, he will also leave with the belt.

UFC 56 lies pretty much slap-bang in the middle when it comes to UFC’s shows in 2005. It’s nowhere near the quality of the best three shows (51, 52, 54), but it’s far better than UFC 55 and is probably on par with UFC 53, albeit with less exciting finishes.

The show’s best performances undoubtedly came from St-Pierre, Hughes and Franklin, but their fights were largely one-sided, while the rest of the card was clearly less exciting to watch, especially the abortion that was Gonzaga-Jordan.

Unlike some other shows too, nothing on the preliminary card stands out either – the fights were fun, but nothing special – and really this is about as average a UFC card as you’ll find. Recommended if you’re a fan of St-Pierre, Hughes or Franklin, but if you do pick it up, it’s best you skip over Jordan-Gonzaga.
