Agreed. Frankie Juarez was the one that pulled out of his fight with Cesar Gracie, and he's talking mad caca about him.

Who honesty gives a damn about Frank Sham vs. Cesar Gracie?

I think everybody is pretty frustrated with Frank's situation. There's been too much talk and speculation regarding his return to the ring, and not enough action. So until he steps into the ring, it's just rumor.

Well, the fact that he pulled out the fight and is now calling Cesar a fake and a coward doesn't say much about Francisco Juarez's integrity as a fighter.

I hope he gets KTFO by Silva or subbed by Saku....

Frank vs. Sak would be one hell of a fight. It could be a retirement match WWE style. For the record, I can't stand Frank due to his Rickson Syndrome.

Frank was my fav fighter, back when he was a fighter. Now all he does is promote himself and protect his legacy. I don't expect to ever see him fight anyone good ever again. Not even Saku.

We almost did, against Almeida in his post-UFC comeback fight. Too bad he got injured. That would've been an amazing fight, and I'm not sure that Frank would've pulled that off given how good Almeida is.

Frank still has a lot to offer, IMO, but if he's interested in getting back into the ring, he has to be willing to compromise. He can't get it his way all the time. I'd love to see him go at it with Royce, Renzo or Ryan Gracie. At this point, though, it's all just ****ing fantasy.

Unfortunately, ALMOST is as good as the new Frank has been showing us. It's like he peaked against Tito and is afraid that we'll remember him as less than that if he continues to fight.
