Franklin reminds of a time that I actually liked both TUF coaches in a season. Sad day when they decided things were more interesting if the coaches fought later on.
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I like both fighters. I'm not sure how well their styles match up.
This should be a hell of a fight. They are fairly evenly matched. Both guys like to use alot of kicks and hand combos, great cardio from both, high level but underatted BJJ games from both. Rich is a bigger puncher IMO meanwhile I think Forrest may have a slight wrestling advantage thats the only areas I seen any advantages that and Forrest being a naturally bigger fighter. I expect alot of exchanges in this fight and I think Franklin being a decent puncher and Forrest not having great punch resistance may be the deciding factor.
I think its a good fight. Both will come to fight, neither are amazingly talented but well rounded fighters. Griffin may have the size advantage but I think Franklin might be the smarter fighter.
Thats the most important thing bro its going to be fun. You know they will stand and trade punches and kicks and its going to be damn entertaining. Thing about Rich and Forrest is they ALWAYS come to fight.
You will not believe it but wiki says... Bouts in the works include: Middleweight Championship: Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort[2] Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin[3] Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader[4]
I like it, good one to get the casual fans together aswell. Dana likes this one. Neither legacy will tarnish too bad win or lose.
