Franklin has nothing over Hendo. If they stood and traded, Franklin might have the "better looking" striking, but once Hendo lands, Franklin goes to sleep.

Hendo by TKO/KO.
From what I've seen, Rich couldn't withstand Hendo's power for 5 rounds if it was a title fight. Henderson's wrestling is also on another level, so he'd put the fight where he wants it.

i think this fight is closer than people think...hendo and rich area about even int he stand up department imo...maybe witha edge to hendo is power and a edge to rich in technique...wrestling goes to hendo but rich can hang a little and niether will subb the other...
this fight stays ont he feet for a while with rich landing better shots but then hendo gets it down, gnp's and pulls a decision win..

I have to agree. Franklin is my favorite fighter but only way i see him winning this is if he is at the best he can be an Dan comes in unmotivated, but that prob won't happen, so Dan by dec.
by the way Butterbean could knock Hendo out.
Hendo can be knocked out. People thought the same about Lil Nog an look what happen. Odds are Hendo won't be knocked out before he retires but i think Anderson will be the first to Tko Dan.

I think Hendo would just batter him on the feet and in the clinch, Franklin wouldn't be able to take him down and even if he did he wouldn't sub him.

These are 2 of my favorite fighters, but this is a worse matchup for Rich than Anderson Silva. It will stay standing because Hendo will choose to keep it there, and Hendo probably has the heaviest hands at MW and Franklin has a below average chin.

I like both of these fighters, however I believe that Franklin needs a change. I think he has gone as far as he will go training with Gurgel. He should stop training with Gurgel, and move on to a more established camp, like Couture's or Jackson's.

yeah people tend to serverly nut hugg hendo after his win over wandy, but if you really look at it wandy is his only notable win at lhw and wandy wasnt wandy that night, and hendo should have lost to busta, who franklin would maul...but yeah this fight is very close but hendo takes a decision i think...but its a good fight imo

Wrestling . Without a douht hendos a world class wrestler.
Striking . Probaly franklin would be better tecnicly than hendo but hendo has more power
Ground . Id say equal i dont think one could submit the other
Overall Henderson would beat franklin

Agreed, Hendo did real good vs Rampage. I think he's to much for Franklin.
