he is tough...he needs to fight in the ufc to establish himself. Im not saying he isnt a bad dude, but crop cop hasnt had luck in the ufc, dan henderson got beat in the ufc. Someone need to come over from pride and take a stand.

Rampage was Pride, before he came back to the states and was fighting in the some other league. But it doesn't matter UFC bought it, also Fedor kind of is fighting for UFC now being Zuffa bought Pride. The changed the rules to the UFC rules and so its only time before does fight over here. If Fedor looses in UFC I will be floored. _________________________________________________________

Thats a tuff call, I like Silva's style and he so far seems very versatile not sticking with one standard fighting method. He (Silva) has shown he can KO and submit profeciantly. But I am a fan of Franklin and he has great hands I think he will learn from his mistakes from their last fight and pull it out. I believe it will be a good fight either way. I am glad lately their has been more talent entering the UFC, it was getting pretty dry there for a while wouldn't you agree. _________________________________________________________

The old no time limit Joyce Gracie matches, that would go on for 2 hours, pull each others hair and head but the good old days. I think that the rules pride had were excellent. I don't care for UFC rules but what can you do? They bought Pride and now Pride is just UFC under a diffrent name. It's all because a paper in Japan reported that the Yakusa was involved in Pride so Fuji (their largest sponser) and other sponsers pulled sponsership and Pride went broke. _________________________________________________________

its hard to tell from their last fight the way it went. The thing is that Franklins best game is his hands and standup, but so is Silvas. That being said, I think silva is more technical and better at the stand up, but Franklin isnt far at all behind. Its basically whoever makes the first mistake, although the odds go to Silva, IMO, because he is a bit more technical.
