IF Rich thinks he's in with a chance of winning this, then he needs to walk in to this fight with a better game plan. A lot. Trying to out strike Silva is going to get you KTFO. Silva now is quite a strong Middleweight fighter IMO. I'd be very surprised if this goes to the third round.

The Spider will own Franklin

out of curiousity why is the Jason MacDonald Vs. Yushin Okami fight a prelim? That doesn't make sense because their both great fighters.

rocket, watch your double posting.

I think that match is on the undercard because its not as important rankings wise perhaps. the otherones they could expect more and those upper card fights could be much more ranking specific.

I am a big of "Ace" but I am not sure he will survive this fight. I think he has the chance to make it longer then the first time at least.
Rich is a great dude from what i have seen and an awesome and talented fighter. Silva just happens to be better for the most part. his striking is insane, which is the same thing i used to describe Franklins before I had seen Silva.

I would love to see "the truth" make a fool out of tim silvia....Anyone making a fool of that lazy clod is good in my book.
and of course Stephin Bonner. looking to make a mark, we shall see if he has made the adjustments he needed to.

definatly a hot card for me, much better then what i recall the next one being.

Im interested to see if Franklin can keep the UPSET IN THE ME streak alive. I doubt it but I will be happy to watch it.

As far as Vera...I would like for him to murderape TIMMAH! but I dunno. Silvia is 6-8 and likes to lay/pray

I hope they show the McDonald/Okami match cuz I <3's JaMac.
