seXXXpac Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 both guys are very likeable but Forrest needs this win more I'm not so sure. I think Franklin is closer to the end of his career than Griffin is. A win over Griffin puts him knocking on the door to a title shot, whereas a loss may completely eliminate him from the title picture forever.

scottythai Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Not a fan of either but I see Rich winning my UD or TKO. Then I see Rich getting the loser of Thiago/Page. Then I see Rich getting smashed by who ever that is and having to think about his MMA career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seXXXpac Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Franklin has more momentum tho While that's true, Forrest is coming off a 15-month (give or take) layoff. If he loses, it could be attributed to ring rust, and also that Franklin is a top fighter. Either way, I'd be happiest seeing this end in a very close, highly contested decision.

seXXXpac Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I think thats what will happen anyway! Ya never know. I disagree with them being 'overrated', though. If anything, I think they're both underrated by a lot of people. Franklin has only ever lost to the cream of the crop, and Griffin is capable of beating anyone on any given day.

shinsplint Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Both are nice guys & classy guys.... I think Ace will get the W though... BUT it is a tough one to call... Ace UD...

ddrummer9 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Im going for Franklin I think his stand up is more technical than Forrests and he's also good at getting back to his feet after being taken down. But you never know with Forrest he might show up and absolutly destroy Franklin or he might lose embarassingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea maybe overated was a bit harsh. But I think Underated might be a bit much. But I still believe neither one could beat Thiago..... And I don't see Page losing to Forrest again.

Tweak Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I want Franklin to win. I do not care what people think, he could beat anyone at LHW. Given the right opportunities he could be LHW champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweak Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 They're both fake nice guys imo. Am I the only one that see's their arrogance? I can see right through Forrest. Rich is either genuine, or a really good ****ing actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFMRE Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I really like both fighters and think they are both underrated. All of their losses have been to top guys. I really can't decide because they are basically the same fighter. They are both really tough, slow but powerful strikers with good kicks and underrated ground games. I just hope that they have an epic battle that goes the distance. Should be a war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinsplint Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I've seen Rich refuse to shake a fans hand at a UFC 115 pre-fight press conference. Is that cause his arm was broken...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinsplint Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 It was before the fight. He shook Dana's hand and a couple of guys in high places and a fan came up with them and he brushed him off. Oh rite... So were you backstage also...?

shinsplint Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Nah. It's on on of those video blogs Dana puts up before every event. Oh rite... Well that aint like Rich.. Maybe he was just nervous before the fight...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interbizman Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 How can you not like rich franklin......or forrest griffon... i cant pick becuase i dont wanna jinx one fighter or ther other....they are both sooo likeable that i cant even bring myself to admit on might eliminate the other...totally sux cuz they both really need to win.... If i had to pick...im gunna say 51% rich and 49% forrest..cuz they are really both class acts and great fighters with very good careers... Your going to see a great fight with alot of respect for each other before and after the fight...I kinda think these are the kind of guys that represent the UFC....well except when forrest ran away after getting humiliated by anderson silva.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Roy_Fan Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 i'm rooting for rich, hopefully if he wins and machida beats couture they have a rematch i think machida would smash him again unless rich had a game plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
