Wanderlei Silva - Rich Franklin 99

[Golden_49ers]

What is the consensus here on this fight? or sub main event.

 

[Rambo]

Rich franklin all the way.

 

[Golden_49ers]

I don't know, I personally think Wanderlei wins by barrage of flurries.

 

[G$$]

this fight is going to be a slugg fest, if ace wins i think it will be by decision, if silva wins, by ko

 

[budlight]

someone will get knocked out this fight

 

[JakeT.]

Very tough fight to call. I say Rich by decision.

 

[krh7]

Wanderlei Silva KO

There are a lot better fights to bet in the coming months.

Wanderlei has a shot chin and Franklin can't fight out of the clinch. Neither side looks good to me.

I think the fight sets up well for Silva. Rich is an aggressive fighter but doesn't exactly have that crazy KO power. It is a hard fight to call because at this stage I think Rich's fighting style does better in MMA this day and age, rather than Wandy's all out style. But I think this is a better matchup for Wandy than it is Rich.

I will go Wandy by 3rd round TKO/KO

I don't say this as an insult to Franklin or his fans - and I don't necessarily think Wandy wins this fight. Just been going over his ufc fights...

What fights has he won convincingly aside the early bouts /w Tanner? And who has he beat of any real skill (don't say Shamrock, please) - Nate maybe?

Yushin Okami is by far his best win. Okami is a stud and is 7-1 in the UFC. Okami has wins over some excellent fighters and has a win over Anderson Silva. I know it was a DQ but it should be noted that Okami was on top when the illegal strike happened. This guy has legit skill and injuries are the only reason he hasn't fought for the title yet. Rich won a unanimous decision against him.

Thanks - will check out this match.

Okami was a good win but Rich was very close to losing this fight in the third round by sub.

The fact of the matter is that Franklin has always fought the best of the best at his weight class but the UFC has been notoriously weak at 185 lbs.

from what hear...

Silva doesn't have that fire anymore. I like Franklin.

Geez, finally figured out my logon!
