THE BE GOTT’EM
"When i get in there, in his face ,pressin the action,I'm RUFF NECKIN'EM,I'm throwin him around,I'm punchin him,hes punchin me, I'm eatin his shots and I'm Blastin him back in the face he's not goin to be able to handle it ." - Chris Leben on how his fight with Anderson Silva is gonna go.
yeah but it makes me sad when chuck gets ko'ed
So I am happy to see Rich get a fight he will win BUT its kinda sad chucks noodle might not be able to take this. Chucks Kryptonite is good boxing. Rich’s is on point. The Ice man will be thawed once again.

Franklin is a very good striker, but he really doesn’t have anything like Rampage’s or someone else of that caliber.
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms, turning every good thing to rust.
Yeah I see Rich out pointing him en route to a UD.
If he catches Chuck clean I think he can get the KO, but I don’t see that happening.
I actually think Franklin has the weaker chin of the two. Franklin is not good at eating a punch or semi hard shot at all. If chuch catches him ounce its good night also for Franklin.
Franklin is not good at eating a punch or semi hard shot at all.
Based on what? Getting punched in the back of the head by Belfort?
He got knocked out twice by that chump Anderson “Pillow knees” Silva too.

Based on alot of his fights when he gets hit good some are W’s some L’s, Franklin seems to get rocked very easily and seems to retreat when hit hard but he has good defense when stunned and is great at clinching up until he gets his wits back. He was almost put away buy bolth Even Tanner and Loiseau in those fights. Sure he went on to win and dominate but neather was known for there KO power and they bolth droped Rich. I just don’t think he has a great chin or takes a a hard shot good at all.
Really Do I becasue the best shots I remember in the whole fight is when Dan had Rich pushed up against the fence when rich was getting up off the ground and dan was hitting Rich while he was using the feance to get up. Other then that I don’t remember Rich eating any hard shots at all just a few jabs and baby left hooks and Rich looking to counter strike and use leg & body kicks on Dan. Pretty much a bad kick boxing fight it was.
Rich has a fine chin.
Hello. I take stuff too seriously.

getting dropped in a few fights ≠ having a weak chin
Sure glad Lesnar got his shit straightened out.
So what’s the deal here? Does something happen to Tito mid-season where Franklin takes over for Tito making Franklin/Liddell the fight now?
At least the cardboard doors feel a little safer with Rich around instead of Tito.

Man, what a fucking FAIL for the show. You think they’d take that shit down after filming, assuming this picture was taken recently.
Or don’t allow people on the set with cell phones.
...because Franklin/Liddell is so much worse than Ortiz/Liddell
As a fan of fresh match-ups, I love the idea of Liddell in a competitive fight against someone he hasn’t already fought 2 or 3 times.

It can't be more of a fail than last season, in terms of quality
the fights last season sucked hardcore. at least this season is off to a good start.
Disagree
I don’t think this is a fail at all…these rumors have made the buzz about this season way bigger that it would have been
The rumors have given the show a buzz, but you think they would just let it be speculation, not an actual picture of the gym with both of their photographs. It is possible that this is just to throw people off and gain interest, though. I think the rumors have been great for generating buzz, but something like this will make people know for sure….you think they’d want to keep the suspense and this kills it.

He’ll reply with, “that’s not rich, it’s Tito, with longer hair and less tan”

He prolly leaked it himself. Next week there’ll be a picture of BJ Penn instead of Franklin against Chuck

Someone should doctor a TUF photo showing Fedor and Brock on the walls and watch the MMA blogospheres meltdown.

For some reason, this is what comes to mind:
What’s here? a cup, closed in my true love’s hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:
O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make die with a restorative.

Rashad was so punch drunk he tried to make sure Chuck had a comfortable nap.

I hope this is true. Much more fun than Chuck/Tito III, but it's a tough fight for Chuck after a year off.

Oh snap, what are you gonna say now, Chuck and Dana?
And why the hell wasn’t Tito at the recent TUF presser?
Complete Spoiler!
haha, although this is an unnecessary spoiler,
it all but confirms that Franklin did replace Ortiz on the Ultimate Fighter but!!!
Liddell will still fight Tito on the 15th of June at UFC 115.

Kind of a spoiler, although, if you come to BE, you already knew what was up.
I’d much rather be ignorant to the situation though.

Hopefully Dana realize he will get a zero buyrate for this PPV. Tito Lidell? Lidell Couture? I will not watch these at all are you kidding me?
Fights I wanna see regarding these 3
Lidell vs Franklin / Griffen
These are very desirable fights for me. I would enjoy both of these.
Couture vs Machida / A Silva
Couture is not in his prime anymore and would likely get murdered but I would still love to see these fights regardless. This is a must watch for me and Couture could likely retire after these two fights after all the PPV money he would make. Hell I would like to see Franklin and Griffen against Couture as well.
Tito vs Jon Jones / Rampage / Ryan Bader
You picked Tito up again for what reason? Hes not any good we know this. Ah yes he can sell a PPV thats right. Seems that you must also be relevant to sell PPVs so Tito’s stock has gone way down.
Make him earn his money, I want to see him brutalized. Send Bones in , I want to see Tito cry. If not Bones Rampage if still around would be ok I would love to watch Tito flail helplessesly for the takedowns and get brutally knocked out.
Make these matchups forget about making these three fight each other. Their time at the top is over make good mathcups that we want to see.
Personally I wonder if this is a viral attempt at marketing. Will Kimbo come back? Will Tito quit? Duh Duh Duh. Leak some photos, set up some twitter drama way back, put the internet in a tizzy for like $200.
Even if it is real, they’re rolling with it.

Talk about reaching have people never watched TUF before?, because in the past there have been several times where current UFC fighters showed up on behalf of a coach to teach his guys certain things. The fact that people continue to reach like this isn’t surprising but it’s a waste of time and people are only setting themselves up to be let down. Rich Frankling appearing on TUF isn’t shocking, surprising or proves anything it just goes to show how bored some people are for news that this counts as interesting in any way which it isn’t really.
this is easy.
Tito has teh AIDS. ……. i mean… jenna jameson. end o story.

![Rich Franklin tells MMA Torch he doesn't need surgery after all: "Everything at this point in time is going real well. I had a cast above my elbow to my mid bicep, and I got that cut off on Monday. They put a [new] cast below the elbow, it's like a plastic molded cast with the Velcro straps so I can actually take it on and off when I'm showering - which is great because it gives my arm a break from being stuck in something - but recovery seems to be going real well, the doctor likes what he sees in the bone growth and the alignment and all that kind of stuff, so it's looking promising to not [need to] have surgery at this point in time."](http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/132078/1057_small.jpg)
