| Title: | Rich Franklin vs. Dan Henderson at UFC 103 ... why? - http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/mma/blog/2009/07/rich_franklin_v_dan_henderson.html |
| Description: | Rich Franklin will face Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC 103 in Dallas. And it makes zero sense. The two fighters are in different weight classes. Henderson has been focusing more on middleweight and Franklin has been vocal about his desire to stay at light heavyweight. Both are coming off impressive wins. But Franklin should be facing a higher light heavyweight and Henderson should be facing Anderson Silva (if we get jobbed out of the Silva vs. GSP fight, which it looks like we will since Mike Swick will probably get the next welterweight title shot) or a top middleweight contender at the least. These are two big names in the sport and there is some revenge factor involved since their last fight was a controversial split decision. Still, I don’t know that this was a fight anyone was clamoring for. I think Franklin takes it. But where, exactly, does he go because of it? I hope it’s more entertaining than the first one and I hope Franklin can dodge the eye pokes and head butts of Henderson this time. |
