what about how he just destroyed a way bigger hamill? Mcdonald has a sick ground game and proved it in the maia fight. i think hendo is gunna have a lot harder of a time beating rich than u think. i think rich has a lot better cardio than henderson and will wear him out as long as he doesnt get caught by one of dan’s wild punches. and kendal dominated a tanner who was far past his prime. he has been out of action for a long time and his wild lifestyle took a huge toll on his body. if u think the tanner who faught kendall was the same tanner who faught franklin ur fooling urself steve. his body looked totally different.

No offense to Tanner but he never evolved his game and even though he had a big heart he never had great skills standing. And in this day and age u need to be well rounded. I mean kendal grove dominated Tanner completly. And Kendal is not even close to top 10. Yushin Okami is a good fighter but there is something about him that doesnt let me believe in him. He just doesnt really show a killer instinct or the ability to be a champion. So those two guys he beat dont really prove he is great atleast not to me.

Gegard Mousasi is F’in serious to me it seems like he is born to be a UFC Champ someday. He is very underrated very good. It seems like an inevitability that he will one day turn heads in the UFC.

Rich has beat Evan Tanner twice and Yushin Okami. Dennis Kang is very good like top 3 or 4 in mw good but no one has proven to be able to be a no 2 mw except Rich. I understand your point Denis has only lost of recent (last 3 years ) to extremely stiff competition. I think everyone though is making a huge mistake to underestimate Rich Franklin, He is very consistent maybe one of the most consistent fighters in the world. ill say it again for now the fourth time 24-3 with 22 wins coming via submission or ko. hes a finisher and he shows up every fight, he has been a champ and defended, hes lost badly twice and been injured and been accused of being old and he continues to beat top competition convincingly.

another name is Amar Suloev. These are tough guys that are very exciting to watch. Now I dont think Franklin is horrible but I do think he is probally the most overrated MW/LHW fighter in MMA. Now lets see if he proves me wrong.

Ok so who has Franklin beat that is even close to Hendos lvl? Never said he had a bad chin just said that Kang would KO him. Kang has superb hands and another guy that the UFC should get is Gegard Mousasi but I guess Gegard wants to go for a world championship in boxing. But if that fails or just flat out falls through then I would love to see him fight in the UFC.

i dont know much about kang but none of the names they have listed off that he’s beat besides ninja are near the fighters of hendo or franklin. why do people think franklin has such a bad chin he’s lost to anderson and lyoto give him a break lol.
