Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort

August 22, 2009

Breakdown ,, come on in, lets chat & have fun ...

First of all, I like both fighters, they are both great. They are both well rounded and its hard to pick one. But I think that Belfort is going to take this fight. There are some reasons why I´m saying so. 1st: I think that he is the better fighter. 2nd: I think that this fight means more to him then it does to Franklin, because this is his firts fight back in the octagon.

If you compare the skills, then I would give the punching advantage to Belfort. I belive that he has more power and speed. But I think that Franklin has beter kicks. They are equal at the wrestling IMO. Franklin has the better cardio, and Belfort has the better submissions.

When Belfort fought Wanderlei he only needed 44 seconds or something like that to finish him, and Franklin went to decision with him. This is just a fact, its not comparing, cause Wanderlei is much better now then he was at that time.

Belfort looked really good against Lindland, so I do think that he will come in better for this fight. Belfort is going to hurt Franklin early and then finish him later IMO.

What do y'all think?

    Rich will win by making Vitor gasout. Rich just has to move counter clockwise to Vitor punches. Vitor leaves his body open for leg kicks to the stomach. And Vitor's stamina is still questionable. If Rich can pull out another fight like against Wandy, he's got this.

    Alot of people don't give Rich the credit he deserves. I respect both fighters in this match but i have to give the edge to Rich. He'll take this fight very seriously and come prepared for Vitor. I don't count Vitor out, but i think Rich may have what it takes to come out ontop.

    Franklin will win by decision. This fight will be very similar to Franklin's last two fights. Go the distance, be close, whoever loses will think they got robbed.

    this is a joke right? lol Look for frank the tank to go streaking after he beats vitor and give him a good welcome home party and do a keg stand together. Lindland is no franklin. you can believe that and if you really look at it franklin fights more often than most of the ufc guys..look for vitor to step up after getting his first lose fRaNkLiN ALL THE WAY.
