This is a big oportunity for Okami, he is on a 4 fight win streak in the UFC and recently dominated Swick. Rich Franklin recently defeated J-Mac and is hungry for that title shot. Who do you guys think will win the fight?
I think Franklin is too much, his striking is much better and I don't see Okami holding Franklin down and GnP'ing him. It is a great match up though. It is good to see the middleweight division is really making some great matchups to determine who the best is. Marquardt certainly deserved the title shot he is getting against Anderson and the winner of Franklin Okami will also be a legitimate number 1 contender.
I will take Franklin in this one. I don't see him getting outworked and taken down seriously by Okami. If Okami can't get that takedown and work some those wrestling skills he is going to be in for a long night against the Ace. You never really know though.

I don't know about that, but I know someone who saw Franklin "moon" one of his teammates at the gym, and I have it on good authority that he needs a bit of a haircut down there.

This is similar to Chuck vs Rampage in "who the hell is going to win" stakes. I think Okami will take it via dominating/tank. He can keep Rich busy on the feet before taking his ass down.
