If you beat Rich Franklin in the first round you should have a title by now. It ashaming Ryoto Machida has beaten Bonnar and a lot of other popular fighters but still is under rated. He's on the card for WFA though. I hope he wins something there.
I think that Rich is such a balanced fighter, in all areas especially stand up!!
that there arent many fighters out there who can deal with it.
Having said that i think there are a few good fights out there for him, one name comes to mind straight away Forrest Griffin. How i would love to see that!
Rich Franklin is amazing, and he should have a rematch against Ryoto, when Ryoto defeated B.J Penn, Rich Franklin, and Stephan Bonnar, it should be noted that Ryoto had a significant weight advantage in ALL of those fights.

I was rooting for rich but for some strange reason I knew he was going to lose when he came in he didn't look as confident he looked tired, then he had an eye jammie and a cut and he was recovering from surgery im sure he didn't want to fight but the fans were callin him a coward. So all that hype he had no choice but to fight him but hes definetely getting a rematch I don't know anybody else that can stop Silva except for a well condition and confident Rich Franklin and he will be expecting the clinch this time around.
