Which Grappler should Ace fight next??

This is a tough question guys. Which one dimensional grappler should Ace get to tee off on for his next fight? MacDonald and Okami are both on the rise after big KO wins, maybe the winner of Tanner/Grove?

People need to get over rematches, unless there's nobody else to fight. Franklin already beat McD, Okami, and Tanner. The way I see it, Okami is next in line for the title shot, and very capable of beating Anderson. Okami versus Franklin would make total sense in a title fight situation, and it might unfold that way. In the meantime, Maia versus Franklin would be an interesting match-up. Franklin has proven himself strong against great grapplers, but Maia continues to impress.

HENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"HENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I don't think the UFC will make Hendo versus Franklin. I think Hendo would crush Franklin, and I believe the UFC feels the same way.

UFC wants to keep Franklin winning so he's in line for another title shot. Only, if and when Anderson is no longer the champion.

bisping

 They'll have him fight Leben, and probably in Cincinnatti

CRE - He knocked Quarry out for 2 years and Quarry has shown us he isn't a joke at all, bring the strikers on


He knocked Quarry out in an MMA fight, yes. Quarry's back/neck injury was pre-existing, and timing of the surgery coincidental, but not "caused" by the ko.

Not sure why Franklin gets no respect. Aside from Silva (and NO ONE has looked good against Silva, who is clearly on a different level) wasn't Loiuseau considered to be one of the better strikers in the weight class at the time Rich beat him? Quarry's boxing skills were the talk of the town coming into his fight with Rich as well.

Tell me more about how Rich is being fed "one dimensional grapplers"...

franklin/hendo, franklin/marquardt, franklin/bisping would be great fights i think.

i dont buy the ufc ever protecting franklin. he's always fought whoever was in front.

marqeardt, lister, bisping, leben, maia, hendo, probably others i;m forgetting, maybe sakara(losing but good standup battle) filho...ufc has plenty of good fights for rich before a title fight SPROUT

if grove got to fight rich i would be pissed. hendo is the only logical choice imho.
