HES ALSO GOT THE INDORSMENTS AND PPV CUTS, AND I KNOW A FEW TEACHERS AND THEY MAKE NO WHERE NEAR 60,000 A YEAR...

Why get your nose and ribs broken for nothing?

have you listened to any of his recent interviews? he is still very motivated to fight. he hopes to be back by february. and i believe that his contract will be able to be renagotiated very soon.

Who knows? Maybe the Silva loss has rekindled a flame under Franklin's ass and he now wants vengeance and will train harder than ever? I wouldn't mind seeing Rich/Silva 2. Good fight on a big PPV. |

how the hell did you guys manage to retire Rich and begin a discussion about him being a teacher?
He lost a fight but he will be back. If Silva is still the champ and Rich loses again, then we can talk about Rich going to another organization or retiring. But he is fighter and he is committed to fighting in UFC, no doubt.

I know this is a few years away but I can see Rich doing some announcing for UFC when he is done fighting.

franklin was a good champ, prob the best in the ufc, silva is no chump, but a rematch i think would be worth pay per view on its own.

I don't know any teachers that make that kind of money. Maybe there are some college professors making that. I bet there are not many teachers making good money in Ohio. In past interviews he said that he quit teaching because he enjoys fighting. Now if a guy enjoys fighting and he is making what 20k per fight plus endorsements and ppv percentages(which is where the big money is), why would he quit? Just because of a broken nose? That is just part of the game. He knows that there is always a chance that he is going to get hurt, but you can get hurt in anything you do. What about all of the kids bringing guns to school and shooting up the place. I bet those teachers that are making 20k a year teaching those children don't stop teaching

Best champ in UFC? I know Pride has better fighters than UFC but damn, that puts UFC in the gutters. How the hell did you come up with that conclusion? Rich may be th ebest champ in UFC? LOL |
