You can never count him out either. Rich can win if he keeps it on the feet, imo he has better technical striking than Dan. Dan has heavy hands and can win by getting in the clinch, going for takedowns and lots of ground and pound.

Good analysis. Dan's fights usually come down to whether or not he wants to fight the smart fight. He should against Rich. Just clinchwork, takedowns, and G'n'P all day

Franklin looked heaps better than Hendo in their last fights, I think Hendo is going to be too slow

Don't hate on Bisping. He is going to shock the world in 2009. The next Rashad Evans... Btw, his fight with Evans suddenly seems a lot more impressive, does it not?

May not be, but It sounds an awful lot like an pre-fight excuse.
