UFC 103: Franklin vs. Henderson II

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Looks like Henderson is getting screwed out of his titleshot against The Spider... He'll be facing Rich Frankin in UFC 103 in a rematch.

 I'm not entirely sure where I stand on this fight. I understand that the MMA community seems to be split on this decision, let's look at the facts:

 

For Henderson facing Franklin:

- his previous win against Franklin was sketchy at best, so if he wins this fight, it'll solidify him as a real contender.

- Franklin is ranked higher than Hederson (at least in my power rankings)

- Bisping was pretty slow, and totally set himself up for that devestating knock out

 

Against Henderson facing Franklin:

- he knocked out Bisping with such perfection, it'll probably be on the highlight reels for years to come

- Franklin's already had two shots at Anderson, and seems pretty content in moving up to the Light Heavyweights

- I'd rather keep the fighters in the divisions that they're in, as i'd rather see more Franklin fights and moving up in the light heavy weight ranks

 

That's the facts as I see it, though there's probably more and probably better arguments in this debate. 

 

Here's the video from Franklin/Henderson I in UFC 93:

A fat man and a skinny man were arguing about who was the more polite. The skinny man said he

was more polite because he always tipped his hat to ladies. But the fat man knew he was more

courteous because, whenever he got up air jordanand offered

his seat, two ladies could sit down.
