Ok, Is anyone excited about a rematch from UFC 99?

I'm not.

I'm a Franklin Fan, but this fight holds NO intrest for me.

Can you book a better Main event opponent for Wandi?

I can

Chuck.

This is going to be a catchweight fight anyway, its a proven main event, and Chuck is still in shape.
Chuck's nowhere near the title anyway, but so is Franklin, and a company guy.

Got a better idea? Defend Franklin? Let's hear it


laugh all you want

but

Franklin, he's a future hall of famer. Yeah, I said it!!!

he's beaten..

*Ken Shamrock

*Evan Tanner

*Yushin Okami

*retired Chuck Liddell

*already HAS beaten Wanderlie Silva..

The only guy NOT in the hall of fame, Yushin Okami, well, some need to be inducted, but you know what i mean.

thEY WILL


I mean, the dude looks like Jim Carrey, how you gonna hate? lol

thE BIG KICKER HERE...

Rich, he aint scared of sh8t, and he threw down with Wanderlie already, in their first UFC fight, it was soo GOOD< NC, it got FIGHT OF THE NIGHT

Sure, Rich has been hurt, but don't hate on rich, and as far as this match goes, the last one from "UFC 99" was pretty damn dank, to be straight up honest.


Never said Franklin stunk.

But where is he at 185? He's constantly said he doesn't want to fight at that weight, he hates the weight cut.

Where is he at 205? 3 fights away? Four?

He JUST lost to Forrest, and is 3-3 in his last 6.

Name me where 3-3 is a main event on a legit card.

Where does a win get Rich? Jon Jones? Anderson III?

Sonnen?

How does a Wandy win do anything in the big scheme of things? A loss moves him to 3-4, not likes gonna get cut, doing Dana another Solid, but arn't we past the Franklin as a main eventer?

I got a REALLY HUGE MMA fan, and this is going to be the first card in FOUR YEARS he skips.

Chuck is healthy
Chuck is a HOF
Chuck is a DRAW

WHen they fought, they went to a draw, BOTH fighters, the CROWD and Dana wanted to see them go 5.

They can go 5 in Brazil.
They can go all night if they want (and judging by the main card, I'd be fine if they went 9 rounds)


How does Wandi win in the big scheme of things?

he revenges n f'n loss!

Also, like i said, Rich is top talent, yeah, he's 3-3 and coming off an injury, but so what, that doesn't mean he's not going to throw down, he'll have to versus Wandi, and he already has.

On your angle of "Chuck needs to come back".. hahahahahhah

that's **** hilarious...

Chuck's chin is G--------O-----------N_____________EEE

bye bye...

When i think of Chuck, i think of that little yellow bird, tweety bird.

No offense to Chuck, he's one of my favorites.

He also propelled the sport.

While you're hating on Rich for losing to Forrest Griffin, take Rampage for the same instance.

Forrest Griffin aint no slouch bro, he might not win the title again,b ut damn, discrediting somebody for losing to him?

wow....

Anyways, i'm out .Nc. david corrish


Is Forrest close to a title shot?

Did I miss something?

You pick someone ELSE who is 3-3 in his last 6.

You do like fighters strugging to get over 500 in recent bouts don't you?

No wonder you like Ramapge Jackson, who is not only 3-3 in his recent bouts, but 4-4 as WELL!!

I'm not saying Wandy is a number 1 contender, or even on a great tear through the UFC.

Thats the POINT.

You need to SELL this fight. If you can't do it on Titles, then you do it on records or you do it on NAME

Look at Boxing, for example. 25% of the people buying the PPV might know the opponent for the challenger before the fights announced.

Anyone know

Joel Casamayor
Sergio Mora
Roberto Garc??a
Paulie Malignaggi

Other than Bucky of course.

But you bought guys they fought though didn't you?

The UFC don't have 23-1 guys to feed to guys who are going to challenge. They need guys with NAMES to move PPV.

Forrest is a NAME
Quinton is a NAME
Wandy is a NAME

Rich?

He was the CO-Main last fight, loss. You want to move him UP the card for a loss?

The last time Rich Headlined?

When he fought CHUCK


I didn't even read your last argument, look like a bunch of malarky to me..

Chuck Liddell is DONZO....

I hate to say that, but he is..

You really picked a guy that has a glass chin and has been inactive in 1 whole year?

Rich and Wanderlie last fight got "FIghT OF THE NIGHT", and WERE the Main Event of the pay per view.. With Vitor being a "chicken", like Wanderlie said, I think Rich is a GREAT substitute.

Rich might be 3-3, but what's Wanderlie in his last 6?

O, I Know, 3-3!

So given that logic, it completly makes SENSE...

Liddell, laughable, really!

For the grammar police out there, sorry i spelled Wanderlei's name wrong the whole td, was spelling it like the young klitschko...

peace.. NC, YOU LOSE HOMIE!

Liddell???LOL.

right? haha

This "ACE" vs "Axe Murderer" match will have fire works. Niether one of these guys have ever backed down from a good ole fashion barn burner. ****, in the fight Franklin won against Liddell, Liddell **** broke his arm with a kick, but what does Rich do, he **** strikes back, and knocks him the **** out.

NC, im about to kick your arse, sea bass.

June 1, 2012  01:11 AM ET

not to mention, the ufc 99 fight of Franklin vs Silva, was a main event as well. I'm saying Dana "FIXED" the fight, with a great substitute.

UFC's goal is not to sell A fight....it is to sell interest in the sport, in general...interest in the sport translates to future revenue...bringing Chuck back would sabotage the credibility of the fights in UFC almost as much as James Toney and Kimbo did...Chuck brings NOTHING to the future of MMA or UFC. They need NEW names, NEW stars...filling up a space with a retiree just doesn't make any sense.

The fresh face of Rich Franklin?

That's the new star the UFC could create Loki?

?

I put out that the best move would be Alan Belcher
