huh what kinda contract

20inch calves · « **Reply #3 on:** October 21, 2007, 06:37:35 PM »

i heard he signed a new contract. not sure for how many fights

makes since for dana to have done that because IF he would have beaten slyvia it would have been a deal.

Oh brother.

Not in a million years.
Machida doesn't get in there and "bang" he throws when he's going to hit. That's why he's undefeated.

Seeing precise strikes that do damage is more entertaining to me than some guys "throwing hands" wildly like a reject video from "Felony fights."

Sounds to me you're one of those rednecks that sits in the audience and boo every second there's no action in the cage $:-\$

nuyork143 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 21, 2007, 07:55:33 PM »

No I never boo, unless you are one position and never advance or even try to advance. Thats why you love Tim and I cant stand him, hes boring as fuck and rides decisions out!

Rich's manager is Monte Cox. I can see him fighting for Monte in M1 when his UFC deal expires.

" “There will be more fights coming. This won’t be his last fight in the UFC, that’s for sure…. He has been knocked down off the top of the ladder but he’ll work his way back up. He’ll recover. You’ll see a lot more of Rich in the future, that’s for sure.”

J.T. Stewart — the publicity manager for Rich Franklin — refutes claims that surfaced after his second brutal loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 77 this weekend that he would retire from the sport. "

as long as anderson's still top dog @ 185, franklins always gonna be fighting in the shadows of those two loses,I'd be more interested in seeing him test the waters @ 205 more so than staying where he is
