I got franklin with a 1st round tko. Silvas gonna bum rush and get caught. At least i think so.
Cant believe they actually think people should pay 50 bucks for this card....I wouldnt pay anybody to watch this card...

 

[DeftoneSmoker]

double post..srys

 

[RetroGrow]

Wanderlei Silva is punch drunk, so I am definitely going with Rich Franklin. Silva should have hung them up, but I guess the money's too good.

 

[Iraganji]

Wanderlei may end up on the ground the same way Liddell did.

Having said that though, neither of them are in their prime anymore and both of them want a definitive ending this time. Should be a good show regardless.

 

[Warped1]

I voted for Franklin, but it could go either way I believe.

Couldn't agree more.

That Drinaldo fight was grueling hard work

 

[RetroGrow]

Gotta go with Verdum in this one.....

 

[RetroGrow]

I'm picking the Brazilian....

 

[Applesauce]

I'd like to see Wanderlei go out on a vicious KO but those are few and far between these days. Then again Franklin hasn't been very active so "who knows". I've heard so many things about the atmosphere in Pride and I have little doubt Silva was on the juice during his domination in Japan. Couple that with all the damage accumulated over there, it's time to ride off into the sunset! It was that time years ago but who am I to think someone should stop doing what they love and what brings in the $.

 

[RetroGrow]

4 rounds to 1, Franklin......

What was the final result of this?

 

[burns1n209]

franklin wins with decision, goes all 5 with all 3 judges scoring the same (cant remember the numbers) New Champion in town. It was a damn good match both damn near knocked out, bloody, brawl.

 

[Pinkladyeater]

yeah it was a good scrap for sure.
