http://www.mmafrenzy.com/2008/07/02/matt-hamill-vs-rich-franklin-booked-for-ufc-88/ Looks like the rumors of Franklin possibly moving back to light-heavy are true. Franklin TKO in 1.
Franklin will obviously start as favourite but I can see Hamill troubling him with his wrestling skills.
Yeah, I agree. Franklin has a distinct advantage in the standup, but Hamill is bigger, stronger and has better wrestling. He's also been on a roll lately. Franklin is the better fighter, but Hamill has a legitimate shot here.
Franklin's jiu-jistsu is too strong for Hamil. He'll never make it out of the first round if it goes the ground. If it remains standing, Franklin will pick Hamil apart with combinations.
You really think Franklins Jujitsu is that good? I think Rich will keep it standing. Hamil doesnt tend to be very strong in any department apart from his wrestling but i do believe it will be a relatively close bout espcially in the clinches as his much stronger than Rich.
