Franklin lost to Silva twice, in brutal fashion, and it wasn't even close either time. Silva is the champ, and will be for a while, why would Rich persue that again? Rich should either move up to 205lbs, or maybe the UFC should send him to WEC to fight Filho. I think it makes more sense for him financially to move up to 205lbs though, there is alot more big names in the UFC 205lb division that would match up well with Rich. I don't see any where in BF's post that directly alludes to him fighting for the title. No one is saying he's title fight material at 205lbs, they are just saying Anderson has his number and it would just make more sense for him to move up to 205lbs, maybe he can fight Lyoto again.
