Nah Franklin and Dana are boys. He'd have to lose more than just 2 fights to be canned besides he's still in the top 10.

no way swick can take this, he's super over-rated, franklin will eat him

[Frasedog]

Franklin and Swick are so similar in that they are both great strikers, and can hold their own on the ground. I see it going Rich's way. He is just so explosive, if he has any opening he will light Swick up.

rich wont get canned, the crow i believe lost a few in the ufc, he was never champ, wasnt a big draw, plus franklin only has 2 losses in his career , he could loose this and be fine

[Bran]

if swick looks anything like he did against the crow, he's finished. ace by dominance.

[Dork8503]

i wouldnt mind swick beating rich just to see him get beat up by anderson, or to see what kind of fight he puts on with anderson

swick seems like a perfect athlete, imo hes the real deal. hes explosive and he knows he needs to prove himself. i would give it to swick because hes just more athletic and wont get ko'd, when hes in trouble trouble he snaps and becomes even more violent. franklins punches are weak and he relies on his stand up which really isnt as good as everyone thinks. swick by rear naked choke. guaranteed.

You willing to put a sig / av bet on it?

I'm not even that big of an Ace fan, but I'll take Ace's 'weak' standup against Mike 'The Perfect Athlete' Swick in this one.

While I see points on either side, I'm gonna give the edge to Franklin in this one...he's more experienced, and I think (I HOPE) that his hunger to get back to the top of the pile matches Swick's hunger to ascend. Either way, a title shot would be virtually guaranteed for the winner.
