Now I am not that huge on Hendo or Franklin, but I am pretty excited for Shogun's next fight. It should be a good one.

I'm hoping franklin and Shogun both win, they're both still quite young and sitll got alot of fights left. Hopefully Franklin will decide to stay at LHW since clearly he can't beat silva. Shogun should win but nothings definitive, coleman won their last fight in pride (cause shoguns arm broke when coleman took him down). Basically the only advantage coleman has is pure strength, as long as coleman doesn't mount+Ground n' pound then i see shogun winning. Hopefully Roussimar wins, he's coming off a tough loss to Hendo but he's really young and should be a threat in the MW division.

Davis vs Lytle should be FOTN easily, they both said they wanted to keep the fight standing and both have a tremendous amount of respect for each other not to mention davis is fighting infront of his home country

After two big cards this card won't get as mucha ttention as it deserves. Of course there are the big two matches, Henderson vs. Franklin is gonna be insane, I've wanted to see these two fight for a long time, but the time its taken may impact how the fight goes.

 

[xtremebadass]

I agree with MTG. Franklin better stick to his guns and stay with LHW. There is slim to none chance that he would ever beat Silva, well, like he would do any better with Evans lol

 

[MTG]

Speakiing of rashad, how funny would a rashad vs Jardine fight be. Jardine all awkward and what not with Rashad being the cocky bastard he is, the hype would be great.

This fight card doesn't look that bad but it does seem as though it's going to get over looked somewhat as many of the MMA addicts, including me, are looking forward to Penn vs. GSP.

 

[Wrestling Station]

The return of the hammer Mark Coleman is going to be an interesting fight for him against Rua. They have bad blood between them during their days in Japan.
Its going to be interesting.

As for Franklin, I think that he will be on top if he could control the pace of the fight.

 

[xtremebadass]

I am definitely lookin forward to Coleman vs. Rua more than Franklin vs. Henderson. I know the winner of the Franklin/Hendo match gets to coach TUF, but it's just more interesting to see Rua fight let alone Coleman, the guy is a tank.
