3030 on Franklin, i just think he is going to go "outside the box" on this one, i really think he will show a huge change in his mindset and strength with the rematch.
I like Rich but I feel Anderson has too many ways to win no matter where the fight goes. I can see Silva catchin Rich in a swank submission in rd 1 after he catches him with a good combination. Or maybe Silva will just follow up with some gnp TKO. I just dont think Franklin has the tools to upset the Champion. I see ANderson Chuck Liddelling the MW division until they bring in some new talent. Until then tho WAR Anderson!
I really hope we don't see a replay of their last match. I'm pulling for Franklin, all the way. I keep having nightmares of Silva's cocky little dance he did after he beat Rich last time. I wake up pissed every time.
The thing I've noticed about MMA is that it is very unpredictable. Guys who I thought would be untouchable for a long time get beat. Whe Orlovski came along an beat Sylvia I thouth: Wow this guys is a killer! The he looses to Sylvia. BJ Penn, one of the best pound for pound looses to Pulver. GSP looses to Sera. It's a tough sport! No one is unbeatable and I have a hunch that Silva is going to get hurt in this fight. I haven't seen how he does when he's hurt. I'm taking Franklin in this fight.
I'm with your guys who are rooting for Rich. He was my favorite fighter when I first started watching MMA. A comeback would be great but it will be hard for him thats for sure. Not only is he battling another tough opponent, he's gonna be battling himself mentally.
You think Rich can beat him on his feet...? NO You think Rich can beat him on the ground hahah NO! You think Rich can beat him in the clinch hahah get lost! Sorry Rich, Silva aint going anywhere.

LMAO, me too man, it looks like he is playing some gay little banjo or something, I would love to see a win by Rich, but its hard to bet against Silva the way he is fighting lately. **** Silva and his high pitched voice
I'll defintly be betting on Silva. Don't get me wrong, Rich is a great fighter but I just believe that Silva is more talented... well that and he brutalized him last time.
I'll be betting on Silva rooting for Rich lol *shrugs* although i do think rich should be at 3/1 odds personally after his decimation but what are ya gunna do?
SILVA FTW!!!! I expect/hope to see a much better fight this time but i still see silva coming out on top, rich has good hands so he always stands a chance but he really has to keep his distance to avoid that clinch.
I expect Anderson Silva to beat him. That being said I put all my money on Rich franklin. I'm broke so I'm just hoping he'll some how pull through. I doubt it though...
Image the pre-fight jitters Franklin is gonna have inside before the fight starts. It's gonna be intense. I just don't think Rich can do it
