Who wins if they fought at 185pounds???

Even though Anderson Silva makes Rich look like play dough every time they fight I still have faith in Rich Franklin as a fighter. Gatekeeper or whatever.

And though I know Rich will Knock multiple fighters out and all that stuff.......I can't see him pushing past The Axe Murderer. Wanderlei in the second by Knockout.

I really wish Wandy would go down to 185.

Yeah he did look like play dough though. He got squashed and and lumped and folded and so on.
Rich is really good and I know he can knock blocks off off alot of fighters. I don't see his stand up beating Wanderlei. I don't see him surviving Wandys clinch either.
And we all know that he has holes when it comes to taking the knees. Silva is a mui thai fighter, and boy does he throw them knees.

So the ground is the only place to go with this fight. And once again, Wanderlei is no slouch there. And Silva has an iron jaw. It's super hard to knock him out. I'm not seeing a perspective on Franklin defeating him.

This fight would be sick. Rich remains one of the best middle weights and Silva returning to 185 would be great. I hope this happens someday.

Franklin wins by TKO in the 2nd

Sounds about right.

Wow- I can't believe I haven't even thought about this match-up. This would be a great fight to watch and I think it would be a war. I think the deciding factor would be if Wandy can dominate Rich with the MT plum as Silva did as he is a different size and arm length than Silva. Very very interesting match up.
