[20inch calves]

just read they will fight in jan. 09 in ireland. ufc 93 i believe. i think it will be a good fight

[20inch calves]

am i the only one that thinks this going to be a great fight

It should be a good one, Dan's a better wrestler and harder puncher, but Rich is a bit more technical with his striking and is hard to hold down.  I think they will both fight a cautious fight, but I see Rich winning by decision.

I think Hendo will do what a lot of people thought Hamil could do, and that's control franklin on the ground...

I'm pretty biased though when it come to hendos fights !

Hey Chute who do you think has the better sub skills?

[Bluto]

hendo cant submit for shit

[coltrane]

should be an awesome matchup...  i think hendo will outskill franklin on the ground and standing actually...

hendo by decision

[TheIronWarrior]

Dang Bluto. That is actually true, in a sense. He does however fall victim to the submission more times than none. However, I still think Hendo is a fooking pimp. One of my favorite fighters. I hope he smashes Franklin.

[Dreadlord]

Both guys are good so  i don't care who wins.
I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show

If Franklin wins, they need to create a "2nd best" belt for him.  He's cleaned out that whole weight class...except for that spider guy.

Rich is definitely a better submission grappler than Hendo.  Rich has never been submitted, he's hard to hold down, and he has won plenty of fights by submission.  Dan has never subbed anybody in MMA and has been caught himself a few times, although his first fight with Big Nog (Nog's first loss in MMA) he avoided plenty of subs and earned himself a decision win, which shows does he posses some BJJ skills.  In short, Dan has some alright skills on the ground, Rich has better.

he's fighting at 205 now..

is the Hendo/Rich fight at 205??

[SinCitysmallGUY]

is the Hendo/Rich fight at 205??

I was curious about this as well. Hendo is a little small for the 205 class. Page and the other big guys just walk around a little to heavy.. Yet it serves no purpose for Rich to stay in 185... Either way this fight will be great. I am calling HENDO all the way.

I would assume so,Franklin made it pretty clear there was no chance of him accomplishing any more goals if he stayed @ 185....

at least that's what he said prior to Hamil..
