Dana: Tito vs Franklin Possible

Dana just mentioned that he doesn't know Tito's next fight, but he likes the idea of Tito vs Franklin.

Franklin by KO/TKO

GREAT fight for both.

perfect...I was thinking about this for a while

Seems like a fun fight. Tito would take Franklin down at will.

After Forrest laid on him, I really think Rich should fight someone else....

Good fight.

Sounds like a good fight for the Fox card.

MonsterBalls - Good fight. I think Rich's striking would give Tito problems. I doubt he would be able to take Rich down at will as someone suggested. Rich's footwork is pretty good and Tito's shot is pretty slow these days. Tito may get him down in one round but not all 3.

Tito is bigger and stronger though so that will help.

Forrest had a pretty easy time getting Franklin down. Would be a walk in the park for Tito.

 TITO TITO TITO



























































WAR TITO!

Eh, not a bad fight, but this isn't gonna excite "new fans" the way Leben vs. Belfort would on Fox.

mcpeepants232003 - Tito vs Franklin

Machida vs Hendo
Gustafsson vs Vlad


How does Davis fit in this?

Forrest isnt afraid of being hit though.

Round one will look like round three...Franklin on his back with Tito being busy being Tito. UD for Tito. Drawing board for Franklin. The other fight on the card should be leben vs belfort. If there is a third I would love to see kongo vs reem. Phone Post

Franklin should win this fight IF he employs his butterfly guard. Rich probably has the best butterfly guard in mma for getting back to his feet. He made a huge mistake against Forrest in assuming they would stand it back up in rnd 1 (it probably should have been but u need to adapt to how the ref is doing his job).

Rich will get taken down in round 1 and maybe in round 2, but if you look at Tito / Forrest how did Forrest get back up? Butterfly!!! U cannot play close guard against Tito.

So Tito takes rich down a few times but rich immediately uses butterfly guard gets up using footwork and eventually KOs tito.

No one KO's Tito, especially Ace Franklin.

 

ok - TKO.

 Not a good fight for Franklin.  If Forest took him down and out grappled him that easily then Tito can also.
