Rich Franklin Thinks Fight With Cung Le Will Not Help Get Him A Rematch With Anderson Silva

r u kidding he doesnt deserve a shot and he is not good enough anymore give the shot to rashad that would be some match

a fight and win with Cung will get you closer to a re-match better than Catch weight fights. however that being said i don’t think you are a contender right now. Think your heyday is done.

Good for Rich! I’m glad he actually still cares and isnt one of those guys that just fights for a paycheck every once in a while.

rich whtas the point of fighting anderson ….you want surgery again on the nose

Rich you couldnt beat the Rich Franklin that got destroyed by Silva the first 2 times why would you want that pain and embarrassment sir.

He is a fighter. What is wrong with him still wanting to be a contender?

ANderson Silva fights once a year and I DO NOT want the next one to be with Rich. and world ends in December so it doesnt matter anyway

So many haters, how dare this man want to be champion again! lol you keyboard warriors need a new hobby

Wow! what an army of keyboard warriors. How dare Rich aspire to be one of the best in the world and want to avenge his career defeats to the Spider! What brashness he shows! Do I think Rich could beat Anderson? No. Do I go online and trash him for wanting to get closer to a title shot? No chance. You d***heads need to evaluate your own thoughts before you call someone ‘delusional’.

He’s the reason I wish Strikeforce would have survived. He has nowhere to go. Still a good fighter, but not going to a shot at the title. Fighters like him could have had a second career at StrikeForce..and please before anyone tells me, I am aware that strikeforce is still putting on fights but it’s a joke at this point

Uh, thought rich trained with silva after his last beating on the terms he leave the division or at least not look for a fight with AS again . No one would pay for that fight anyway .

I think he’d have a better chance fighting brock lesnar and by that i mean no chance.

sorry mate you had your chance… maybe Sonnen would be a more realistic challenge

He’s been very clear about wanting to make another title run. Good luck man! As for all the Anderson Silva talk, you know Franklin is 2 or 3 fights away from a title shot right? Who’s to say Anderson is still the champ then. Also, were he to walk through Cung, Weidman and Bisping he’d have proven himself. Then no matter who the champ is you have to put Franklin in there.

Rich is beyond title contender, let it go, hit a few good paychecks and find a seat in the office beside Chuck.

I respect Ace a lot more now… even though he’s older, more banged up, and not the fighter he used to be, he still aspires to be the best! Just compare that to, say, Forrest Griffin or Rampage.

Will be someone big on the first show in China, not Rich. Sorry

I dont understand how these guys wanna rush for the title shot with so little recent wins under them plus of course it would make sense that they have to defeat the other top guys first duh

I think Rich Franklin as former champ was 1 of the top contenders against silva,I believe he beat Dan Henderson though robbed of it, Wanderlie both times, chuck liddel, Okami,etc…so the que is who’s the #1 contender? Chris Weidman deserves the shot, fact is Rich and GSP won’t be able to fight silva before silva gets matched up finally…Reshad maybe but he’d have to go for take downs for sure, and not be afriad and think he’d be to flat. So sure Weidman or evans but wideman’s already a ready middleweight. Had hector won he’d be up next but weidman’s prob better. hewctoprs good but should be at welterweight and cut some muscle mass…
