Ace will be on his game that night. He will deff find the Ko or Tko in the second round . Not saying that the hammer is not a tough kid, But Ace will win this fight..

Hamill is so overrated it's crazy. Franklin is better everywhere but wrestling wise and even if Hamill gets Franklin down he won't be able to do much.

This fight is going to be hard for me. I like Hamill and I like Ace.
I'm going with Hamill though. He's a big LHW, with awesome wrestling skills. I think he pounds out Ace.

Hamill's hands will drop in the second like they always do, and when that happens, Rich will drop him. End of story.

I have to go with Rich. I don't see Hamill knocking Rich out or subing him.
I think Franklin is too big for Hamill's wrestling to be as effective as he needs it to be.

Rich Franklin isnt bad, but I think he peaked a little to early. I'm gonna have to give this one to Hammil. JMO.

I just rewatched Franklin/MacDonald, Franklin/Okami, Franklin/Lutter and I've got to say Rich has an extremely under-rated ground game. He outgrappled/positioned MacDonald and even swept him at the end of the first round, he escaped a dangerous kimura by the ever-strong Okami, and he beautifully rolled out of Lutter's armbar.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hamill takes Rich down, but Rich outscrambles him, or sweeps him, finishing him from a dominant position.
