But still I have Franklin by UD.

Couldn't agree more, I am so tired of hearing that Franklin isn't a good fighter. I hope he comes out and really tries to prove something in this fight!

I was shocked at Rashad's improvement. I think he now destroys Bis and Tito.

I really hope Hendo follows a gameplan. Besides catching Rich in a exchange I don't think Dan would be able to outstrike Rich. Hopefully we see the same Dan that fought Palhares disciplined and smart.

Unless Hendo lands a bomb I don't see how people think he'll win.
If taken down, Rich will get back up, and we know Rich's striking is MUCH more than throwing power rights over and over.

Well I hope you are right... but Rich has been susceptable to the clinch game before and Hendo relishes the clinch game. Even though Hendo's clinch is far different than Anderson's clinch, it is still an X factor, and IMO is the biggest X factor of this fight.

He's not always right but I think the guy does a great job, is a smart businessman, and loves the sport. Dana isn't anywhere near the evil corporate CEO like the tools pretend.

i am going to pick Hendo. He only lost to Rampage and Anderson recently. I don't think Franklin would stand a chance against Rampage. Hollywood has KO power in both hands. I think Dan fights better at 205. I am hoping for a fight of the year even though the year is just beginning!

Yes in deed his bout with Tito as well but that was the less skilled Rashad if the Rashad now had fought like he did earlier I think he would of finished Tito and Bisping.

That's exactly how i see it going. To me Rich is the all around better fighter. Only hope i see Hendo having is landing that right.
