who wins this fight? could go eaither way and would be tough to call but i can see dennis winning by ko, thoughts?

right now, Kang. Kang is a beast. he recently said he considers himself #2, and i agree. he's definitley top 3 in his weight class.

i'd go with Kang via Decision or late TKO

Kang would win, he is just a little bit better then rich in all areas. Rich probably has better wrestling but I dont see him being able to knock kang out or submit him

I think hes more then a little better, I know I pick against Rich a lot but in this fight its not even one of those very tight matchups, and im not saying Kang is lightyears better then Rich.. im saying hes just a bad matchup for him.. I pick against Rich in a lot of close fights, but in this fight Denis Kang is his kryptonite.. Black belt in BJJ, great striker whos extremely explosive, fast, and powerful.. I mean he hits harder then A. Silva does, faster then A. Silva does.. doesnt have the accuracy Silva does but he isnt wild at all either. I think Kang would finish Franklin, Kang is a Top 3 MW in my eye and if anyone outside of the UFC takes A. Silva's belt I would bet money on Kang.

Franklin is my favorite fight so i am going to have to go with him. Yes Kang is a beast but he has lost to less before and first time stepping into the ufc can halt on someones performance. But the first time the meet inside the cage i give it to Franklin.

I mean that long streak Kang was on that people like talking about was against alot of no body's but he did beat Amar and Ninja i don't really think Gono is all that great. So i mean yeah i think Kang is good but Franklin can still beat him.

No i am not saying i think Franklin can beat him every time or most of the time.

Franklin has KO power so does Kang. Kang has been tko'ed by less then Franklin and subbed by less guys then Franklin.

But Kang likes to come bring it and can end the fight in a second.

Still the first time the fight i would give it to Franklin

My vote goes to Kang. Kang by ko if the fight ever happens. Rich has a suspect chin IMO.

agree that franlin has a chance, and that kang has lost to lesser opponents, but that was some time ago and he has turned his career around 360degrees and yes if the fight took back then, then franklin would def beat him.
