If rankings are based on accomplishments I still rank Filho above Franklin. A win, regardless of how sloppy it is, cannot move a fighter down in the rankings.

That being said, if Franklin were to fight Filho and I had to bet on the fight - I would put my money on Franklin after seeing Filho look like he was sleepwalking in his last two fights. A year ago I never thought I would say that.

What do you guys think? If Franklin fights Filho 5 months from now and you were forced to bet on it - who would you put your cash on?

[Montaro]

Franklin easily.

Franklin. Duh.

filho

franklin's spirit would be crushed before the bell rang just by his association with anderson silva

To the two guys who would bet on Franklin:

Would you have said that prior to the Doerkson fight?

Franklin. I'd love to see this match.

That's rough. It would be a power move on Filho's part to have Anderson corner him.

With Anderson reigning supreme at 185 the UFC could conceivably move Franklin to the WEC or vice versa.

If Dan beats Anderson though, a Franklin vs. Henderson match would sell plenty of tickets.

depends on if that gurgel guy is still in franklins corner.
