Apparently these guys have already faced each other once! I have some rare fight footage for you to check out. If their next fight is anything like this then Silva is in for a long night! :lol:

:? :lol: :roll: :| RIGHT.
I got a feeling Frankling is going to stay on the outside and win a decision. Both of these guys need a win bad I just feel like Rich has looked better in his last few fights.
Great find Gordan that sh!t is hilarious. No need to even have the fight after that. :lol: :lol:
The rest of you should go to that video and watch it. You have no idea what this thread is even about.

I was having a debate with this couple about this fight. They are both going for Wanderlei, I'm going for Franklin.
I think Wanderlei has more KO power, but I think Rich is a much better striker. Wanderlei is too sloppy for my liking, and Franklin seems to actually come to his fights with a game plan. Silva seems to just come to his fights with the same game plan over and over.
I hope its a good fight that Rich looks spectacular in. Franklin by TKO in R2

This fight is a cross road for both fighters, one has to win very convincingly to reestablish their worth in the UFC. If it goes to a decision it would validate many peoples opinion's that these two are merely gatekeepers now.
My prediction is Wanderlei Silva def Rich Franklin TKO (knees), round 2.

I heard a rumor saying that Wanderlei Silva is injuried and is out of the fight. The UFC already removed UFC 99 from their website.

I really hope he isn't injured. If this is Dana's idea of an April fool's joke then he is sick and demented :evil:
