| I couldn't agree with you more on Rich's heart as well as his superiority in the division. All I am saying is he has been knocked down on a few occasions with a good shot. Loiseau was dominated by Franklin no doubt. But few people remember that he sent Franklin to the canvas with a punch in the 3rd round. UFC 53 Franklin gave Evan Tanner a bad beating. But, late in the first round of that fight, Franklin was floored with a right hand by Tanner. All I am doing is stating my opinion of one way to beat Franklin. I feel that Swick and Silva have the strikes to possibly send Franklin to the canvas with the right punch. Also, both seem to know how to finish quickly when a fighter is in trouble. Franklin is so well rounded and at the top of his game, I feel that this is about the only way he could be beaten. |
