Lutter did very good untill he gassed. His long take downs costed a lot of energi(just like Shogun did against Forest) and he payed for them by getting hit a lot at the same time.
Feel sory for him, he was this close [] to finish the fight.
As somone said I think it might have been no escape if his leggs was not crossed but then he would have to move his hips closer to Franklins bodey wich could also have given him a chance to escape. I also belive Franklins strength explains a lot of how he was able roll out of it.
Not to many people manage to make that roll, it only work if the armbar is not tight enough. Out of all fighters Mark Hunt is one of the guys I have seen making the same move a copple of time. 2 times against W Silva I think
Over all a good fight, to bad Lutter had bad cardio/a bad day?
I see no good reason to bad mouth him at all, he gave it all.
After he gassed he took between 5-10 knock out punches wich tells me he have a lot of heart as well. He must have felt terrible when he gassed.
Good fight, to bad it did not last longer.
