    No matter how much Rogan and Dana want us to believe it, Rich is not realistically on the level of Anderson Silva.
    Oh sh*t!!! What am I saying???? :doh: This is the UFC. The unexpected should be expected. Ok I change that. Rich is gonna rape Anderson and regain the title! :clap:

    It seems everytime you pick a fighter to win they lose (Shogun,Hendo) your killing my decision making ,cut it out..............jk?


    Anyway a friend of mine who trains at Jorge Gurgels schools in West Chester,Ohio said Franklins moving his training to the west coast to avoid distractions,so I think he's going bring the best Rich Franklin too this fight.........but with that being said he is who he is and I don't see him changing THAT drastically to get a win.

    I doubt Franklin wins. HOWEVER, I don't expect him to use the same strategy. I expect him to try to take Silva to the ground as much as possible. Silva is dangerous on the ground as well but that's what I expect. if Franklin stands with Silva again he is a fucking dumbass :lol:

    Franklin needs to attempt takedowns and some vicious ground/pound but then again, what does he bring to the table that Anderson hasn't already seen?

    I'm going to go out on a limb & pick Rich in this one. I think he'll be too strong for Silva this time. I also think Gurgel will have brought in some type Muay Thai guys to throw him in the clinch & rough him up a bit, get him some defense from it. The Franklin we saw in the last fight looked incredibly timid. I look for a stronger, more aggressive Rich Franklin in this fight, I think he'll have devised some sort of great game plan to take Silva out. It's tough to pick against Silva, but I have a pretty good hunch about this one.

    Usually guys don't suddenly become brave in rematches after they got the sh*t kicked out of them in the first fight. They actually become EVEN MORE timid.

    Usually when highly touted Champions lose in embarrassing fashion they come back stronger than ever. Just my opinion, we'll see what happens. I know I'm going out on a limb by picking Franklin anyways.

    I mistakenly voted Frankin but I think SIlva takes him out again. I don't think it will be as dominating one sided as it was the first time around though.
