Title: Rich Franklin to face Matt Hammill at UFC 88
Post by: gymrat75 on July 02, 2008, 04:15:21 AM: Rich Franklin moving up to Light Heavy to face Matt Hammill. Any thoughts? I know Rich has very good take down defense.

then the next event do the grand prix winner vs the current champ.

odds of this happening....zero.

That's a good idea! Couldn't they do that with the NAC rules? As long as their in the same weight class right? I mean if your cleared to fight your cleared to fight right? Man I like that idea!!!

I'll go with Rich, too. He's one of most intelligent fighters, ever. I think he'll come up with the winning game plan.

He is? If he was going to make a temp jump up in weight at least stay there for 2-3 fights.
Would be interesting to see how Anderson matches up with GSp or BI I hear the winner of the GSP/Fitch match faces BJ.
