Franca VS Griffin at UFC 103 in Dallas.
Thoughts?
Who do you guys think takes it?
Poor Franca.
nostripewhite - Poor Franca.
Good fight.
If he lands a few of the knees he landed against sherk you never know!
Hermes bjj is still sick and he has ridiculous power in his hands.
Hes got a good shot here, id like to see the vegas odds on that one.....
crowbar -nostripewhite - Poor Franca.
I'll guess Griffin -220 Franca +180
155 always makes for great fights.
TTT
crowbar -nostripewhite - Poor Franca.
exactly!
Good fight, but Tyson is too quick for Hermes.

Man, I really want to see Hermes bounce back in this one. Should be a helluva fight for the fans regardless.
If Tyson Griffin wants to be boxing Tyson Griffin, he gives Franca a huge chance. If he decides to wrestle, he wins easy.
MNFAN - If Tyson Griffin wants to be boxing Tyson Griffin, he gives Franca a huge chance. If he decides to wrestle, he wins easy.I disagree. I dont think anyone wins easily vs Hermes Franca.
Franca brings it every time I have seen him.
I would definitely give the edge to Griffin just based on his style, but Franca seems to have HUGE power for 155, and has great BJJ so he has a chance.
I think theres a really good chance of fight of the night here!
I'll bet $30.000 that it will go to a decision.
thank you Joe Silva
Okkun - I'll bet $30.000 that it will go to a decision.
It is weird that Griffin's last 7 fights have gone to decision, and prior to that he had never gone to decision. I don't know if that's tougher competition or what?
A lot of you are discounting the fact the Hermes is very capable of finishing a fight at any time whether it's by KO or submission. He won't be walked through.
That said smart money is on a decision win for Tyson.
I was just thinking the other day how it had been ages since Hermes had fought.
Never count out Hermes, but I kinda' like Griffin in this fight. He's tough, Hermes wont outmuscle him, and he'll apply the kind of pressure that, in typical fashion, will likely grant him another decision win.
