Rich Franklin at 205

Yes it kinda sounds crazy but what if he knocks of silva and swick and who ever else they throw at him. Does he bump up weight to test his skill there or does he just continue to work every one they throw at him....

He can't take LW punch. He already fought in that weight class but you must be a newbie right!

It's up to him, but if I were him, I'd stay at middleweight and keep my credibility.

strong enough physically to fight at 205, which gives him a big advantage at 185 being naturally stronger than pretty much that entire division, and he is talented enough to fight at 205, but does he have the chin that can hold up at 205 against guys who hit just as hard if not harder than he does, and aren't going to be bullied by him or ran over the way he can run guys over at 185.

in a radio interview he said he would only move up to 205 if he completely dominated for a while....meaning like 6-12 defenses of his title.

he feels his frame is smaller than most 205s, as he was a 205 pounder that can cut to 185, not a 230 pounder cutting to 205
