In Franklin's last 3 fights he went 1-2 against middleweights. Yes I know officially they were all catchweight or LHW bouts, but all 3 of his opponents were planning to fight at 185 and just didn't feel like cutting the extra weight.

I disagree completley when someone says "this fight makes no sense for Franklin." Rich needs a win just as badly as Chuck does. If Franklin is able to defeat Chuck, then winning another fight against a top contender could conceivably earn him a title shot. At the very least this bout keeps him relevant and potentially gets him a win at 205.

imo they shoulda put lidell vs ortiz on the finale, ratings would be out of this world, but now they will go for the lower buyrates

Notice how the franklin poster is brighter than everything else in that photo?

I'm fileing this in the "Fuck off" folder. I don't believe any of this garbage until I see a fight poster. As far as I'm concerned, no one is fighting on that card, that may or may not even be in Vancover. I don't even think there is going to be a UFC 115. I think it'll just go from 114 to 116. I think yall are going to pay $55 and look at an empty octogon for 3 hours.

Does anyone still care about Tito Ortiz?

Pre-fight Tito: "I'm back, 100%.. No injuries. I'm so glad to be back and fighting healthy again. I can't remember the last time I was 100%".

Post-fight Tito: "Not to make any excuses but you know my nagging back injury. I really wish I could fight at 100% one day".

Sigh.

Hey Don, how does that prove it's fake? If Rich replaced Tito then they would of changed the picture after Tito left, not during the first episode. And then I thought, well did they just put Rich's head on Tito's body but you can obviously tell they are in two different poses with Tito's left hand on his hip and Rich's left arm hanging to his side.

Look at the body structure and face orientation. The bodies are the same, head different. Go to UFC.com and you can see different angles of the photo.

PHOTOSHOP and BS.

I was thinking that these pics were released awful close to April fools, and Dana loves a good prank, and hates the internet keyboard warriors... Just a thought. I'm on board with DonFrye, Fake Ass BS.

Do you notice anything with the shadows in relation to the overhead lighting?

i think thats a fake pic, but i do think rich will be in the show for one or two episodes, and id also bet that its still tito chuck 3. not a match up i really care about anymore, would much rather franklin and liddell but part of the show is the coach rivalry so my bet is that they fight as originally intended.
