Silva vs Bisping would be a great stand up fight???? Give me a break, Bisping lost the stand up battle to Matt Hamill in my opinion and he is not even in the same league as Franklin much less Silva. If Bisping vs Silva made it to the second round it would because Silva was laying back or Bisping was running. A. Silva vs Bisping would be a great stand up fight????

TIffany Amber Thiessen was really chunky though, I was surprised that she let herself go right before a co-starring role- maybe she expected this film to be a stinker. The character was really tailor made for a beginning actor, since being a cyborg, he expressed no emotion at all for most of the film. My main complaint was that there was very little actual hand to hand combat in the film. I think The Life And Death Of Bobby Z was a much better film in terms of utilizing real MMA techniques.

It's rare to find a fighter who isn't a classy person in some respect, but Rich takes it to a new level. Great interview, I look forward to seeing the Henderson fight -- even if I am gonna feel like an ass cheering against either of them. Franklin never disappoints.

Ultimate Fighting Championship light-heavyweight contender Quinton “Rampage” Jackson pleaded guilty today to one felony and one misdemeanor count related to his July car chase from Costa Mesa to Newport Beach. We’ll have more details coming on latimes. com/sports, but Jackson’s plea deal will allow him to avoid jail time on the felony charge and pursue a likely July title fight against current light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans. Jackson is required to perform 200 hours of community service, pay restitution related to all six original counts he faced and continue visiting with mental health physicians, with bimonthly reports required to be filed to the Orange County district attorney. Jackson faced a maximum three years in prison because of the incident, which his attorney, in a statement, said was “a brief episode of delirium which was reactive to situational and metabolic difficulties. ” The felony count still leaves Jackson subject to 180 days in jail, but a prosecutor said that if Jackson fulfilled his requirements before a Jan. 7, 2010, sentencing, the count would be dropped and jail time avoided. know this isnt the right place to put this but im sure everyone wants to read this…..

Did you not see his dismantling of Hammil? Franklin is just realistic when it comes to wanting to get out of fighting before age catches up to him and makes him look old. Franklin/Henderson will be a great fight! Both are top notch athletes and good faces for the sport. You’re not sure of Franklins desire to fight anymore? Did you not see his dismantling of Hammil?

Marquardt is very, very strong and has shown some angles on his last two fights that are very intriguing for match ups. I don't think Bisping is ready to knock with Henderson or Franklin . . . but I thought Evans wasn't ready for Liddell. The last several months of MMA has surprised me with results. It hasn't been boring. As to Henderson and Franklin, I enjoy both fighters so much, it's a tough match since I'd like to see both men succeed - hate to see either guy get the "L".

I believe Franklin can do really well in the light heavyweight division and would like to see him stay there. As for Bisping, I never really liked him and I was hoping for 3 rounds that Leben would knock him out. No way Bisping could beat Franklin or Henderson and if Bisping were to make it to a title shot against the Spider it would be an easy fight for Anderson. How about Bisping take on Wanderlei when he moves down to 185. Haha! Maybe I'm a little desperate to see Bisping get KO'd. Go Rich!!
