Rich has done the UFC like a thousand favors..

Rich looks weird with long hair

Anybody watched weigh-ins?

Joe was unable to read the names correctly

That means UFC really needs to think about cutting events.

Rich Frankin vs. Wanderlei Silva
Cezar "Mutante" Ferreira vs. Sergio "Serginho" Moraes ("TUF: Brazil" middleweight final)
Rony "Jason" Mariano Bezerra vs. Godofredo "Pepey" de Oliveira ("TUF: Brazil" featherweight final)
Mike Russow vs. Fabricio Werdum
Yuri Alcantara vs. Hacran Dias

[ace3g]

lol



and my predictions:

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
Rich Frankin vs. Wanderlei Silva
Cezar "Mutante" Ferreira vs. Sergio "Serginho" Moraes ("TUF: Brazil" middleweight final)
Rony "Jason" Mariano Bezerra vs. Godofredo "Pepey" de Oliveira ("TUF: Brazil" featherweight final)
Mike Russow vs. Fabricio Werdum
Yuri Alcantara vs. Hacran Dias

I didn't watch any of the TUF Brazil show, so I'm just guessing on those picks, lol

[dbreiden83080]

Wandy is one of the classiest acts ever in MMA..

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)


Rich Frankin vs. Wanderlei Silva

Big fan of both these guys.. My gut says Wandy might have one good fight left here.. Wandy VIA UD in a war just like the first one..


Cezar "Mutante" Ferreira vs. Sergio "Serginho" Moraes


Rony "Jason" Mariano Bezerra vs. Godofredo "Pepey" de Oliveira


Mike Russow vs. Fabricio Werdum


Yuri Alcantara vs. Hacran Dias

How can you NOT love Franklin? Or Wandy for that matter?

[Stringer_Bell]

I'm a huge fan of Franklin/Silva, but I favor Franklin more because of the whole Silva/Chael thing. Kinda annoyed me tbh, cuz Wandy never talked Anderson for disrespecting the entire sport on numerous occassions.

But yea, I got Franklin by Split Decision.

[Stringer_Bell]

Also, Rich is in the hall of fame and should definately have a job with UFC fighter relations since I suspect he was instrumental in the whole health insurance thing. Props to Brazil for filling up that stadium and sounding crazy even tho the card changed so much.

main event time

great recover round by Rich in the 3rd

[dbreiden83080]

Last time i ever stream anything i damn near got a virus..


Rich won, Wandy easily got the 2nd and then gassed.. 2 should have been a 10-8 RD bad MMA scoring strikes again.. But Rich won for sure.. Wandy should retire.. I hope he does..

[dbreiden83080]

BTW that is 2 wins against Wandy for Rich.. Both came when Wandy was past it but still 2 wins.. Rich continues to be one of the most accomplished and underappreciated MMA legends of all time.. Career record of 29-6 with 2 of those losses against Anderson.. Rich was a great MW champ before Silva took the reigns.. His loss against Hendo i thought Rich Won.. Also has a loss to Vitor and Forrest.. He has wins over Wandy twice, Chuck, Okami, Tanner, Shamrock, Lutter, Hammill,

Rich at 37 is still plugging along.. One of a career...

IMO, the 2nd round probably should have been stopped and Rich's comments at the end show that. Rich Franklin is awesome though.

I never like to hear that excuse. If you come back to win the fight then it should not have been stopped.. Rich pretty much dominated the rest of the fight..
