Stand-up and trade or ground and pound. If he is arrogant enough to think he can stand and exchange with Rich Franklin than he is in for a rude awakening. If he can mix in occasional strikes with consistent takedowns and punishing gnp he could get a decision victory. I don't see him doing that with Rich. Matt Hamill gnp is average at best, so i see Rich picking him apart on the feet and avoiding significant damage on the ground. Rich 3rd round Tko. Matt Hamill believes he can do anything.

Otherwise, I'd never know. He's usually carrying a prominent dent on his face. This is a tough call because I like both fighters so much, and I know that a purist is able to root for a good fight without rooting against anybody, but nonetheless, tough fight. Hamill's strength and weight are factors - as Rich said, will Hamill be able to keep him (Franklin) on his back?
