F. Shamrock vs. R. Franklin 5 round war....

Rich is unbelievably big for a MW but Frank is the man....Imagine if these two got together and fought a 5 rounder? Holy conditioning.....It would be an all out war the whole time!!! I'd pay good money to see this one!

Rich is the man

But I think Frank would beat him by the 2nd round.

OMG, this has got to stop. Frank beat a first time fighter. Wow. He must be the best. And his conditioning must be astounding, check out those abs and how well he did for all 20 seconds of the fight.

I definitely think Frank could take Rich.Rich really has not faced the top comp in his weight class.

Bad match up for Shamrock.

Franklin's too best qualities are his stand-up and his sprawl. Shamrock is clearly better on the ground, the problem is Franklin's sprawl in the UFC is second only to Chuck's, and Shamrock would not be able to take him down.

Franklin's at the top of his game and Shams been inactive in the fight game. Maybe in 18 mos to 2 yrs time this match could happen (if all the stars align).
