excatly page didnt go out there wreckless after him he simply used wandys aggression against him and caught him being wild and swinging wide
not exactly. but he did stand his ground and engage him.. i dont think rich will be willing to do that.
I think Franklin would. He's not the type of guy to buckle under pressure. He stands up and fights. I haven't ever seen him in a boring fight I think, even against Okami, he just goes for it. And let's be honest the first round of Wandy-Rampage would go down as boring if it wasn't for the brutal KO. Like I said Franklin has the ring smarts to avoid those bombs from Wandy and counter effectively. And Wandy's chin is gone tbh. Franklin has more than enough power to KO him. The only thing that may be unknown yet is whether Wandy is faster at the lower weight.
Apparently this fight will be the co-main event, with the main event being BJ vs Florian. Also Uno is expected to make his UFC return on this card vs Fisher.
Do you just really dislike Franklin or something? If anyone's chin is suspect nowadays it's Silva's, and he leaves himself open all the time. I give Silva a punchers chance in this, but I think a Franklin UD or KO is much more likely.
Do the math my man 2 losses to Anderson Silva,1 to Machida and 1 to Henderson that makes 4 losses and a loss to Wanderlei would be 5.
But you still count Wandy as an elite fighter? A loss to Wandy, would be very bad for Franklin's career.
Good question my man im not sure what to classify him as now. Hes still a top 10 205 fighter and has a elite resume and a great win over another top guy in Keith Jardine although every fight surrounding that is him getting his ass kicked and laid out.
The catch weight says a lot I think, wand has said he wants to go to 185, but Frank Trigg said that he hasn't really done anything to get smaller, and he isn't a particuraly small 205. I read it as Wand not being able to make the jump down to 185, and I don't think he will show up looking very good since he apparantly hasn't really lost any bodyass and will just have to cut more water weight.
I dont even put him in the top 10 205 myself, I see him as a finished guy. Even Patrick Cote could move up to 205 and KO him. He is shot. It's sad. Each time he get koed, the next time it will be more easy.
