ya well that was bacially the highlight of the crows career and that was also before he became scarred to fight

LOL at saying Shammy wasn't bad when Ace fought him.

I think Evan would take Ninja or Suloev.

Actually, what am I saying?

Who knows how Tanner is going to come back, lol.

Loiseau is worse then Ninja, Suolev still.. even in his prime he wasnt as good as they were and he handed Tanner his ass in the 2nd round.

I SAID NO, did you not see the N and the O in capital letters standing next to eachother? by YOUR LOGIC he shouldnt be in 8-12

he isnt better then Frank, Trigg, Ninja, Suolev, or Lawler.. these guys have better wins, or are holding titles. Hell Misaki should be ranked over Tanner at this point.. a win over Hendo is bigger then anything Tanner has ever done, Tanner has to FIGHT in 2007 to be ranked.. the guys last fight in the past 2 years was vs Justin Levens who is a stepping stone at best.

It seems like you are getting those fights mixed up.

The Crow fought Tanner after Rich.

But I may be reading your statement wrong....

Please elaborate.......I think filho would sub franklin. Like filho said, okami almost caught him...and okamis sub game is nowhere close to filhos. Had he been in that position with rich the fight would have been over. Not saying that he would totally walk all over franklin, it would be a good fight i just see filho getting the takedown, controlling the groung game and slapping on a armbar late second round.

franklin has never been submitted for starters.. also hes gonna have to take rich down and keep him there, not easy. finally hes not gonna have the strengh advantage he has over most fighters. and rich is way better on the feet.

edit: if i remember correctly okami wasnt able to take rich down, rich got on top and then got reversed or something then he was on the bottom, or maybe im wrong but thats what i remember.

I think Dana White is worried about Filho but not for the reasons people might think. Although very talented, Filho's style is about as far from exciting as you can get. Filho is a massive lay and pray fighter and under UFC unified rules (which encourages lay and pray), Filho will be even less eventful in a fight.

Interesting how they want to dump 185'ers into the WEC, when the UFC's 185 division is their weakest. You'd think they would want to build up their UFC division first before the WEC's.

I do believe Filho when he says Dana White wants his golden boy Franklin back with the title belt. White always give preference to his personal buddies.
