Jack2Bowl Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I feel sorry for this guy, he worked so hard and could have fought Anderson again if he could have beat Belfort. If Anderson ever wants to fight Shogun, he would have to go through Franklin first. PERIOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarateMark Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Silva completely ****-raped Rich twice. I can almost guarantee you that Ace does not want to fight Silva again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KettleBell Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 i do feel bad for him, b/c if it wasn't for anderson he might still be champ. he certainly would have been champ a lot longer, and at the very least he'd still be a top contender. it had to feel like sh*t to know for years you are the top middleweight in the world except for one freak of nature guy. with anderson in the picture, he's stuck.

KettleBell Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Ace Himself said that the one person he would never fight again is Anderson But I thought he said the reason for this was b/c the UFC wouldn't allow it? Not that he didn't want to or think he had a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdoubleu Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I think Rich knows that he just doesn't match well with Anderson. The funny thing is Anderson says Franklin is the best fighter he's ever faced. Like they say styles make fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc1 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Franklin has held himself so well since those defeats. In most cases the fighter would hang em up when there's a brick wall they simply cannot punch thru. He's moved up, taken on whatever UFC puts in front of him and one rather well. It sux that Silva is so much better than him, but that's how it rolls. He knows it, been proved twice and I can't see how that would change in a third match. I respect that Franklin never whined or made lame excuses, he just took the beatings and is carrying on trying to get better. I bet that is also why Silva has been kind in his comments about Franklin. Whatever you think of Silva, he gives respect if he gets it. Franklin is great for the sport. Too bad he didn't reign longer, but that is just another thing that makes it real. You can love the fighter, appreciate the character he displays, but that doesn't make him a champ. He's still got to beat the other guy in the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
