Rich Franklin at UFC 82

Apparently Rich Franklin is fighting Travis Luter at UFC 82. That is if Luter manages to make weight and not injure himself.

Yeah all in all i don't realy care for Lutter that much, he has to close to no stand up, and even though his bjj is world class he still just isn't to exciting on the ground. I think Rich's wrestling is good enough to keep the fight standing and he will probably be able to knock him out. And if the fight goes to ground i would be confident enough to say that Franklin's bjj is good enough to not get submitted.

franklin will win this fight and he will win the rest until a title shot n he will jus lose to anderson AGAIN!!

Shouls be a good fight.

Lutter doesn't have pretty stand up, but he packs power just look at what he did to Eastman. He's got more technichal BJJ, would be a good fight.

Unless Lutter has undergone some amazing transformation into a well rounded mma fighter, I see Franklin knocking him out in round 1.

eh i dont think franklin has what it takes right now to KO lutter in the first round. i will never know of course but i think this fight will hit the ground where its possible lutter can catch franklin slipping. anyway though i think if franklin plays his card right he could avoid being dragged to the ground since lutters wrestling sucks. but ya i see a boring decision in this fight
