    That pretty much sums up his career.He doesn't have a big win over a big name in his prime.

    You obviously hold Dan Henderson in very high regard.

    You might be right.Dan was too strong for Rich today.

    Plus this was Franklins chance to put a real name on his resume and he couldn't do that.

    Actually I do. Don't make excuses for Franklin, Henderson is clearly past his best and he couldn't even beat him at this point in Henderson's career.
