[HOODS]

I'm in no way delusional about where he is in his career, but I do respect him a lot. He's a humble guy who is willing to step in and help out Zuffa when needed. They have dicked him around a lot, so I hope that they give him some good match ups in his next fight or two. He's earned them

hes been an overhyped, overprotected can his entire career, and the ufc is probably gonna give him an easy fight next since hes such a complaining bitch. Guaranteed he will fight jardine or someone similar.

[Buckner1986]

They should give him a mid-level fight since he's been helping the guys transition weights for the last 3 (Was Hendo a catchweight?) fights.

[Buckner1986]

And Franklin has fought a lot of cans, but that's not his fault. He's just been the product of a formerly shitty 185 weight class.

[HHJ]

hendo wasnt a catchweight

indeed

[Buckner1986]

hendo wasnt a catchweight

Oh ok. I couldn't remember if it was at 195 or 205.

[HOODS]

They should give him a mid-level fight since he's been helping the guys transition weights for the last 3 (Was Hendo a catchweight?) fights.

this whole "helping people out" is a steaming pile of horseshit, he was lobbying to get a 195lb. division, and so were his fans (wig and uhh i think thats his only fan) and now that he's gotten ko'd by the only legit striker hes fought, hes all, "ohhhh i never wanted to fight at 195 i was just doing it to help those guys out".


He needs to fuck off with all his complaining and excuses.

I'd never heard about any lobbying for a 195 lb. division. I haven't heard anything about weight classes since the ACs voted to change the unified rules a couple years back.

If I remember correctly, if there's a flurry at the end of that fight and Wand gets the best of it I think he would have won the round and the decision. But instead Chuck got the takedown and rode him out for the win.

[stulecanem]

Uh, one time in the past couple years?



He's been knocked out 3 times in the past couple of years. I'm a huge fan of Rich and was bummed that he lost to Vitor but the fact is he's got a weak chin.

[Wilma Fingerdo]

i dont really know what hes saying here but just sounds like hes a useless can who the ufc doesnt need anymore and can't find jobbers for him to fight anymore so hes being a bitch about it.

I still say somethings just not right about the Vitor fight. Franklin did not look well going into it, maybe he knew he was going to get beat or he felt bad because he was on the take. I think Rich is on the take...

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

No he just ate a vicious shot to the temple and got pounded out. Vitor's a much better striker than he is with more power and speed and if Franklin looked bad it's because Belfort made him look that way

[HHJ]

rich wasnt the same after he fought wand

[Chucxone]

No he just ate a vicious shot to the temple and got pounded out. Vitor's a much better striker than he is with more power and speed and if Franklin looked bad it's because Belfort made him look that way

Franklin always takes a nap before his fights, he's stated this in interviews

[HOODS]

no im saying before the fight....who takes a fucking nap before a big fight? He looked like a beaten man before he ever left his locker room

its because he was mad the ufc didnt match him up with a wrestler or a shitty striker like they always do for him and he knew the reality of the situation.

lots of fighters nap before fights

Vitor made sure he took a nap after the fight as well

[Chad Hogan]

Did we need 17 pages to discuss something that we already knew? Franklin was always a can.

The problem is Franklin/UFC fans have always classed him as some elite grade A striker that's one of the best in the game. The facts are Franklin has been protected from facing grade A strikers most of his UFC career; and fought cans and wrestlers who had just spent 6 months at a Hollywood kick boxing gym. Those days are over...the days are also over for him facing fighters in the calibre of Matt Hamil.

[Chad Hogan]

show me the forgotten you cant can you good good you dont know anything about mma

I know more than you. I am a more of a vet and you're more of a sticker book collection teenager n00b. Thats the facts honey.

WHAT

it was a close fight, you say wand couldnt "put him out" well neither could franklin in regards to wand. So, it goes both ways.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

If wand landed one more punch while that homo was running away after he got rocked it would have been over for him
