Harry_Tarantino Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Franklin was scheduled to face Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 133 on August 6, 2011 in Philadelphia.[10] Nogueira was forced out of the bout due to a shoulder injury.[11] Unable to find a suitable replacement on short notice, the UFC pulled Franklin from the card as well.[12] Franklin is now expected to be out for two to three months due to the tearing of his labrum that happened during grappling practice.

Why should Roy Nelson be cut in the thinest division after going toe to toe with JDS. W. Silva will be cut, Matt Serra isn't taking fights , Matt Hammill retired, so is Chuck. You are a little out of whack, but you are entitled to your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin sucks too, had a few nice fights but is highly overrated. i know Chuck is retired, but why is he still on the fighters listing on the homepage ? same as for a few others... Nelson should be cut because he will do better in eating contest IMO and the HW GP candidates from strikeforce will do a lot better then him in the UFC , so if they trade Nelson for Barnett, Cormier, Big Foot i wouldn`t mind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RashadP4P1 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 We need glass jaws like cropcop and wandy in the UFC that way if the UFC wants to hype a new fighter they just put one of them against these glass jaw legends hoping they would k.o them just so the UFC can hype them up by saying that this person is the future of the UFC because they koed a big name fighter.

Also cut the champions and replace them with charasmatic WWE stars and change the UFC into a pro-wrestling organization then they'll be pretty damn successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are partially correct about Rampage, but I think it depends on who he is fighting. I think he trained his *** off for Jones and really cared about winning, but fights like when he fought Griffin, Hammill, and even Machida. I think he will be in shape for his fight in Japan though. That is half the problem his hayday was in Japan he was tremendously famous over there for years and years. I had a friend working in Japan who always told me that PRIDE was like the Super Bowl everytime they had one over there and the fighters were like GODS.

I know... it`s all about the benjamins Fighting in Japan means a lot of interviews,shows to go to and making a lot of money.. look at the Dana Vlog backstage,they only discuss he made FOTN and 75K$ ( HE DIDN`T DO ****!) then he wants to fight in Japan,doesnt care who he fights ( knowing he will lose anyway) but also knowing that gig will make him a lot of money. i dont see this **** as fighting,looks more like promotional stuff.. i like rampage tho,but it`s over man.

He is a fan favorite, and was one of the first real superstar champions of the UFC. Besides Dana White, and the Fertita brothers all love him, and that is no exageration. Franklin is just an all around great guy, and I think the best coach on the Ultimate Fighter ever. He will be a hall of famer I'd bet my eyeballs on it.
