    If Rich can win by sub or TKO or stoppage, i'm gonna be seriously impressed, the guy is a great finisher. But I dont think he will finish Hendo

    Just because Silva can knock you out doesn't mean you don't have a good chin.

    Well I think hes talking more of Machida stopping him and Tanner and Louiseau dropping him.

    Franklin looked amazing against Hammil, but Henderson will make this a war. I still like Franklin to win.

    I dont think Frankling will stop Hendo. To be honest i think Hendo may have the better standup as well as the stronger ground game. Im going for Hendo by decision.

    hendo posese all the problems that rich is weak against. a strong puncher, and great wrestler. hendo also hasnt looked impressive at all latly. i would usually say hendo takes this but i think the way hes been fighting that rich can stay at range and pick appart hendo to a ud win.

    Rich Franklin has been in some pretty entertaining fights, hasn't he? I haven't seen the Franklin and Tanner fights, but when I watch UFC on tv, I see a clip in the promo of his fight against Tanner and I can just tell it was a good fight. I am really looking foward the Franklin Hendo fight, this is the type of fight Franklin should have had a while ago. I pick Hendo.

    I got Franklin in this hes a much better striker Franklin has a good jab,a good strong left straight,good hooks,combos,strong kicks,he gives good angles hes just all around much more crisp with his boxing. Henderson probablly has more brutal 1 punch KO power but he isnt a very good striker he throws lots of ugly haymakers and just trys to load up alittle to much on that cannon overhand right. Best chance for Henderson standing is to land a big shot or a couple and get the KO Franklins chin is good but not granite and this is MMA. Henderson will get takedowns if he gets ahold of Franklin no doubt but hes never been a great ground and pound guy and I dont believe hes a better Jiu-Jitsu guy Franklins BJJ skills are very underated. I got Franklin in a close decision.

    As a Henderson fan it is a closer fight than I would like to admit, but I believe Hendo will win, he showed last fight that he is committed to sticking to a winning strategy and not just brawling. If Hendo continues to fight smart, he will win a decision like he did against Vitor.
