I have a great worry that Nate Marquart beating Franklin...

Im scared that Rich would lose his title this year against Nathan Marquart. Checking out Nathan's record, I just figure out that this guy is definitely a serious threat. He defeated Kazuo Mizaki TWICE by total domination; for all who done know, Mizaki is the one who recently dominated Baroni in Pride.

I really really want Rich to be a dominant champ until he retires.

What are your thoughts ?

I think that it would be a great fight, but I think that Nate got to go though Even Tanner, and I think that that would be a all out war!

I am hoping that Nate fights Swick next, I think that too would be a really fun fight

Misaki is one indication of how good Marquardt is, but he's got a lot of other solid wins. I've never found him to be a very exciting fighter, but I think he matches up OK against Rich. I think he'd have a decent change of pulling out a decision against Franklin, but probably won't be able to sub him or stop him.

Personally I think Anderson Silva is a bigger threat to Rich because of his striking style and how that is his strength, but no matter how good he is at it, Silva will always be better. On top of that, while I see Rich being able to get Anderson down, his ground game is good enough that he can hang in and get back up.

Marquardt hasn't looked fantastic in the UFC yet, so I'm not too worried, couldn't put either Salaverry or Doerkson away, not that they are slouches or anything. Either Silva or Marquardt are the top contenders right now, and I think Marquardt will get the shot at Franklin next, while Silva will face one more fight, probably Swick or Tanner, before getting that far.

Just by saying Rich is the most overated fighter ever shows how little you know.I suppose you think every 183lb fighter in Pride would just walk through him

The way Franklin is fighting right now any 185 pounder would have a very difficult time beating him

Franklin will have no problem with Nate... he matches up well with good grapplers. Anderson Silva is the only legit threat to Franklins belt IMO (althought almost everyone has a chance due to his chin)

Rich is a freakin moster, I think if he moved back up to 205 he would beat Chuck. I also think he would beat Wanderlie (spelling?) Silva.
