[YUHHHHHHH!]

Franklin - Henderson. Both guys look like they have a hard time pulling the trigger against top opposition these days, but I do give Henderson the edge. He truly has, as Quinton Jackson says, a "Rock Head." And I cannot picture Franklin submitting him. Henderson via Decision.

As far as Shogun - Coleman. I don't really understand why Coleman is still fighting, but if anything is apparent about Coleman, it's that the guy still harnesses power. I hear it's the last thing to go when you're old, so I could see his only chance of victory being via ground and pound. Coleman hasn't displayed very excellent hands throughout his career, and Shogun possesses a wicked takedown defense. I'm going with Shogun via TKO R1.

Brain says Henderson, heart says Franklin.

I think Franklin can pull the trigger but Henderson cant, still I dont see Franklin koing Hendo so I think Hendo will just takedown Franklin a bunch of times.

[StillUnknown]

i got 15k on Franklin and 10k on Palhares if anyone wants to bet

[Palma]

Hendo wins this

[MJ406]

Hendo wins this

the winner of Hendo-Franklin is supposed to be the next TUF coach alongside Bisping right?

and the winner of the Bisping vs other TUF coach will probably face Anderson Silva.


**in that case would like to see Henderson win this.

Assuming both guys are in their primes I truly believe Henderson is a better fighter and I really don't see Franklin winning this fight at all.

I only question Henderson's age and drive right now. Considering its a main event he should be pretty motivated for this. I really don't see Franklin being able to stop Hendo from controlling him.


I really hope Shogun is back in old form. If he comes out fat and flat footed then its a huge loss for the LHW division at his age.

Im really looking forward to see Shogun back in action. he looks to be in great shape and will use Coleman as a practice dummy. look out 205 Shogun is coming.
