    Would have preferred Franklin vs Cane, but I guess they wanted a more established name as its the main event.

    Meh, not that thrilled about this fight, even as a huge Hendo fan.

    What's the point? What a stupid fight. Henderson deserves another run at the MW title, and Franklin should be building his resume at 205. Franklin and Cane would have been an excellent fight. If Franklin wins, it makes him an instantly legit 205 contender. If Cane wins, it proves he's the real deal.

    What does Hendo/Franklin prove? Been there. Done that.

    BLAH.

    Been there and alot of people bitched about the decision. Cane cant sell like Hendo and Dana doesnt seem like he wants Hendo in the MW title fight just yet. Great fight I cant wait.

    It's stupid.

    The worst thing who can happen is if Franklin is the winner.

    I think Hendo deserves a title shot now, not later... but I can't be upset with Hendo vs Ace II.

    At the end of the day, I want good fights and this will be a good fight.

    Exactly we need a good main event and we got it. The 1st fight was very entertaining and alot of people complained like oh I wish they couldve had 5 rounds or damn Rich shouldve got the nod blah blah. Now we get to find out who truely is the better fighter or atleast I think. Dont see how it hurts either guy I mean it might set their title chances back alittle but it probablly gets the winner another shot. Rich and Dan have lost 5 times inside the UFC the last 3 years it hasnt hurt them either time these guys are top 20 p4p and are always right in the thick of things. I kinda wish it wasnt happening because its my 2 and 3 favorite fighters. When they fought before it was akward if Rich lands a combo im like **** yeah then im like oh **** damnit Dans getting messed up. I want Dan to get his title shot but I also want Rich to win to avoid losing 2 straight to one guy agian. Id have perfered Ortiz-Franklin but this will do. I feel for Dan though he trains 2 months for Bisping then gets like 1 week off and heads right back for 2 more months for Rich since its only 2 months away.

    What a stupid fight.

    I dont think anybody was saying after their first fight "geez, I hope these 2 fight again."

    Franklin and Hendo arent main event PPV fighters.

    http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=eventDetail.FightCard&eid=2277

    here's the rest of the card
    Mike Swick Vs. Martin Kampmann
    Efrain Escudero Vs. Cole Miller
    Josh Koscheck Vs. Frank Trigg
    Tyson Griffin Vs. Hermes Franca

    If crocop vs dos santos and franklin vs henderson completes this card then this PPV will not be that good.

    Swick-Kampmann= ok fight
    Koscheck-Trigg= ok
    Griffin-Franca= good fight

    The fight card doesn't look all that good. This is better off being free on spike. UFC really need to start showing more free fights cuz some fight cards are not PPV material.

    After UFC 100, you figure white is back to hustling people.

    Hendo/Franklin is a great PPV card but I would have done Marquardt vs. Leites 2 as the main event, that would be a definite buy IMHO

    Not a great matchup if this is the main event considering it will be taking place the same night as Mayweather vs. Marquez. PPV numbers should be terrible. Hendo/Anderson II needs to happen before Hendo/Franklin II IMO.
