Rich Franklin vs. Dan Henderson
While neither man is currently a champion, the luster of this match
up hasn't been lost. It wasn't that long ago that both Franklin and
Henderson were considered the top 185 pound fighters in the world.
While Anderson Silva has since taken that title, both "Hendo" and "Ace"
are clearly still very dangerous. Both are now fighting in the light
heavyweight division with seemingly no ill effects. Henderson comes
into this bout fresh off an impressive decision victory over hot shot
prospect Rousimar Palhares at UFC 88. Franklin is coming off a one
sided TKO victory over Matt Hamill at the same event. As usual,
Franklin will likely try to keep the fight standing and use his
southpaw stance, reach and precise strikes to pick apart Henderson.
Conversely, Henderson will likely throw some big power shots from the
outside to try to close the distance and work in his world class
wrestling. Picking a winner in the fight is very difficult, but I like
Franklin to win a very tough, entertaining fight.
Prediction: Franklin via decision.
