I can really see Silva winning, but when it comes down to it I can't pick against Franklin no matter how many times I think about this fight.

I think if Silva wins it it's gonna be early. Franklin needs to pressure him with Jabs and kicks until he can get a takedown from the clinch and out wrestle him.
I say Franklin by Submission in the 3rd or 4th.

Although I'm really looking forward to this fight, Franklin is pound-for-pound one of the best, and I don't see him losing it anytime soon. It will, however, be the toughest opponent he has fought. I have a feeling that Silva will appear out of his game that night, but will be because Franklin is too confusing to figure out.
Long story short, I'm stoked.

Franklin by TKO or SUB in third.

how can anyone say Silva's ground game isn't any good? we don't know what it looks like...almost none of us have seen it. Silva wins the stand up no question. Unless Franklin gets it to the ground, then we could be referring to him as the former MW champion of the World come October 15th. im torn, but im going with Silva in a "slight" upset, cuz no one here will admittedly be shocked if he wins.
