Not at all to be honest. Rashads hand speed is whats made him so impressive so far, he was never that fast against Bisping or Tito. You first saw his speed against Chuck, obviously he worked on his stand up exclusively for that fight and it showed big time.

Granted there was a decent amount of time between the two fights (11 months or so), but still, how much could he really improve in this amount of time, with no practice fight in between? Bisping was undersized as well. Bisping is good, people just hate him because he is English. People in England and Australia (me) actually like him and think he has skills.

They haven't even fought yet and you are readying your excuses.

I am a fan of both fighters, but i think Rich takes this, Hendo is getting a little older, and may have lost a step, im just wondering what happens if Franklin beats hendo then Bisping, do they do Silva Franklin III and break richs nose again?

If Rich wins, he beat a 40 year old.
If Rich loses, he lost to a 40 year old.
Only on Sherdog can we hear excuses before the fight takes place.

I know MMAth doesn't work, and I am not trying to use MMAth, I just want people to get an idea that the skill levels of these top guys are so close.
Rashad's toughest match to date, including Liddell and Griffin, was Bisping. Bisping got beat worse in the Hamill fight than he did the Rashad fight. Rich handled Hamill.
I am not saying this means Rich will handle Bisping, Rashad, or anyone. But I just want to put things in perspective that Bisping, Hamill, Rich, etc are every bit as deserving to be right at the Top with the Liddells Wanderleis, Griffin's, Shogun's etc. I know I will get a lot of flack about that, but I believe it is true. All of these guys are so close and for you to think one of these Top guys is going to walk through another... you'd better have some good reasons for thinking so.
(I am not talking about rankings, just perception on where a fighter is at with his skill level and ability)
