Anderson Silva: "I think Franklin is a true gentlemen and a great fighter."

"Although he dominated Franklin, dismantling him from inside Silva’s Muay Thai clinch, the champ doesn’t balk at a rematch. “I would give him the opportunity he gave me to fight for the belt,” commented Silva on the potential fight. “I think he is a true gentleman and a great fighter.”

yeah im surprised anyone doesnt like Silva. the guy has so much passion and respect for MMA. its like Wandy he's hard for me to not like. even though im going to cheer for chuck if they ever fight i still love the guy and want to see him fight every time out.

He probably said "I think Franklin is an ok guy and a pretty good fighter" in portugese, and the translator got a little carried away.

Both Silva and Franklin are gentleman, I hope Silva smashes Nate tomorrow so we can see a rematch.

I got nothing against Franklin, I think he's a nice guy and a good fighter but it's gonna be sweet to see Silva own him again in front of 20.000 hometown fans

Rich Franklin is a good fighter not top class. He is a gentleman, telling people to stop booing Anderson, class act. But you cannot deny he doesn't have the natural talent to be on the top. And Paulćo would smash his back to the floor, eblow his face and armbar him in 3 minutes
