I'm taking Franklin by UD. Both guys have equally unorthodox strikes but I think Chuck has worse defense so he'll probably get tagged more. Not sure what will happen but I like Franklin for the win.

You know what, it wouldn't shock me if Tito somehow got injured and basically Dana kept the fight with him and Chuck on until the doctors outright said "Sorry, he's not clear"

Well, from a business sense, its pretty smart.
For one, it keeps the fans (us) from really understanding what is really happening on the show. Two, now that we are two episodes in when it was offically announced, now we want to see what happens to Tito (if it makes it to the show).
Wow i this is a bad match up for me.I wanna see chuck go for the run at the belt again,and see how well he does.But Franklin my boy,hes still my favorite fighter.Im choosing franklin,not just because hes my favorite,but i really do think he has more tools then liddels got.

i think frankilin wins this fight by decison he is the better technical striker but chuck still does have power in his hands so rich better not get sloppy
Good God, people. How many times does Chuck need to get KOd before you guys stop with the whole "Chuck via murder" or "Chuck's gonna make another title run"? Not saying that Rich will knock him out, but I'm pretty sure Rich is gonna pick him apart and make Chuck look like what he is now. An old and slow fighter that doesn't have the chin he used to. It would be different if Chuck could do other things well in MMA. But, all he relies on is being able to counter his opponent, and good TD defense. Now that he is a lot slower, those counters don't come anymore. And why would someone want to take him down now if they know they can beat him to the punch? Tito was a perfect fight for Chuck to end his career on, because he's old and slow too. And he still thinks he can stand up with guys. But, sadly, Rich is still in much better fighting shape than Chuck. So, he will pick him apart with punches and a lot of leg and body kicks and send Chuck home on a bad note.
