Am I missing something here? Hendo is a beast and has never been ko'd. He beat great strikers, like wanderlei and belfort, and even won a decision over big nog. Franklin has beaten some decent opponents, but no one as tough as Hendo, with such great wrestling ability. Hendo controlled much of the fight against anderson silva before he got caught with a choke. In my eyes, I don't see anything Franklin can do to pull this out. Anyone agree?

Franklin is a pretty good striker and he could take a close decision but I see Hendo winning this fight.

Yeah, exactly. It was the strikes from Silva standing that put Hendo in the position to get pounded a little on the ground and then subbed. Definitely not the typical BJJ takedown transitioned into taking the back and then choked. I don't see Rich duplicating what Anderson did in any way.

No, but your original point was that Franklin got back up when Okami took him down, not about who won the fight.
If I recall that fight correctly, Franklin won R1 & R2 on the feet easily, but Okami came on (too late) in the third round and took Franklin down, and I don't recall Rich having an easy time getting back up.

Actually if u read my post i never said he got back up when okami took him down i said he got back up when hammil took him down. okami fight was at 185 and i think franklin is much better at 205. So when u learn how to read then u can comment on my posts

Hendo at 205 against a smaller 205 in Franklin makes me want to bet big on Hendo. I think Rich can only win by Dec.
