UFC 93 review

20 Jan 2009 08:26:52 PST

Written by Dave Sholler
With the loss to Henderson, Franklin continues his “almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades” campaign. Given the fact that he’s been beaten twice by middleweight champion Anderson Silva, Franklin is unlikely to return to the 185-pound division. Add his light heavyweight los...

Opinion: Feedback to UFC 93 and ROH Rising Above

17 Jan 2009 08:15:47 PST

Dave, Thumbs up Best Match: Franklin v Hendo Worst Match: Belcher vs Kang It is quite astonishing to think that Rua has gone in a couple of years from a guy that had a reasonable case to be thought of as the best fighter in the world to someone who I would not currently rank as a top then LWH.

Opinion: Franklin not a fan of laying in his own feces

Written by Steve Cofield
Trash talk isn't needed to hype up all fights. You've got the perfect case at the main event of UFC 93 where Dan Henderson isn't very menacing when he's trying to smack about an opponent and Rich Franklin is way too laid back to do anything but laugh it off. Franklin channeled his inner co...

TV Review: UFC 64: Unstoppable - Anderson Silva Title Win Not Unexpected, But Not Easily Accepted

16 Oct 2006 10:45:03 PDT

Written by Rick Behnke
At Saturday night's UFC 64: Unstoppable pay-per-view event, Anderson Silva expertly worked a Muay Thai clinch and let loose with lethal knees to register a first-round TKO win over Rich Franklin to become the new UFC middleweight champion. His win was decisive and destructive, and it re...
