I'm Picking Franlkin this weekend!!

Lutter is world class on the ground. Franklin's not. I think he'll have to try to stay out of the clinch and hope to land some big stuff. I don't thing there's a very good chance of that, though.

 

Dumbarse. atsch

 

I do think people are reading too much into the first fight.

 

Everything Rich does Silva does but a lot better.

If you look at what Franklin has in his weaponary and then Look at Silva's the gap between the two becomes quite apparent. I see no reason why the result should be any different from the first fight.

 

I got both Franklin and Sylvia.

 

Silva should operate on Franklin with surgical precision.

 

Yep. Silva has his number me thinks. I wonder who's going to fight for Randy's vacant title? Maybe we will have a 3rd pride champ in Nog pretty soon

 

I think Franklin will need to put anti-friction grease on his neck because last time he got grabbed their it was followed by a horror-show of knees to his head. I think Franklin will win this even though Silva's the better fighter, IMO.

 

Secret Rival... In your avatar, is that Emanuel Steward searching for Reggie Bush?

 

I'm really hoping Franklin wins, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

You'd better be also hoping that Silva isn't holding Franklin's neck or it'll look like this . . .

Check out the rearrangement of Rich's nose. Silva seemed hostile in that bout.


P.S. Was it just me or did you hear Anderson Silva let out a cry of "Tiger Knee!" as he did this . . .

Success on the ground? You mean being controlled in the guard, expending useless energy and then being tapped out? Yeah, Franklin should follow that blueprint :good

 

Silva beat on Franklin like the Franklins owned his ancestors. He was shooting knees like they were going out of fashion.

 

Hmmm I seem to remember something else like Lutter taking down Silva with ease about 3 times and passing his guard with ease **** he even mounted Silva and wouldve stopped him had his tired as not decided to go for a quicker finisher with a sloppy armbar attempt.
