Forrest Griffin Vs. Rich Franklin - UFC 126

Rich Franklin is scheduled to take on former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin on February 5, 2011 at UFC 126.  A bout that would challenge both fighters' determination to dominate the octagon and a fight that would put Forrest Griffin's fighting prowess to a test.  Since Franklin has fought and defeated quite a lot of notable fighters in the industry like Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Lidell, Ken Shamrock, and a lot, Forrest is going to have to put more muscle in his punches to rock a fighter like Franklin.  We can't, on the contrary, take Griffin too lightly as a fighter since he is a natural born brawler himself noting that he was the very first Ultimate Fighter champion in the reality series The Ultimate Fighter season 1 several years ago.  His nasty kicks can surely punish Franklin just like what he did with his past opponents.  These two fighters share a lot in common, both had been champion in different divisions. Both has been defeated by Brazilian champion Anderson Silva.  Both of them are strikers and this is certainly a good match up no one can anticipate who can win this fight .
