He stuck to his gameplan and won the fight against Palhares. He was very one dimensional in that fight right hand avoid takedown repeat but not sure if you realize how dangerous of a BJJ expert Palhares is so IMO it was a smart gameplan. I'm not sure how you can look good against a dangerous submission expert when you yourself are not but anyways.
I do agree that Franklin is a much better all around striker and should give Hendo some real problems as long as he can avoid the big right hand which shouldn't be a problem since Hendo telgraphs it brutally. It will all come down to takedown defense and if Franklin can nullify Hendo's wrestling if he can he should win a fairly one-sided decision. Easier said than done.
