    Rich Franklin -170...

    Lets face it, Forrest Griffin might be one of the biggest cans in the LHW division. Rich Franklin, although an extremely boring, depressing fighter with a dull personality, will take this fight easily and most likely finish the first ever "Ultimate Fighter Can."

    Franklin only loses to can crushers (Can Henderson, Canderson Silva, Vitor), not cans (Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin).

    Franklin takes this fight easily and most likely finishes this can....


    This is a ridiculous lock and the line should be -400 with Forrest at +300

    Rich Franklin seems like a very good play at those odds to me.

    if this is a ridiculous lock, what was it when Forrest "Big Can" Griffin faced Rampage? Since Rampage was a Pride fighter and therefore is on your REAL fighter list, I imagine that was another one of your failed locks of the century.

    Anyway, good pick, but I got Franklin at the -150 opener . I was feeling more confident about this one before today, now that I see you're on the same side as me. But even you must get lucky once in a while.

    Both these guy suck. Forrest got lucky and rampage still almost beat him with one leg. Franklin is no better than forrest.

    Forrest Griffin is a Can for sure. Griffin is an endurance fighter with no KO power and his submissions wont work in this fight. If it does go to a decision Franklin should be able to use his speed advantage and get the decision. Franklin has more ways to win this fight and his style should counter Griffin.

    Also Pride you should start a thread with a list of fighters that are cans so the forum knows that would be great.

    shogun will own this division for years to come. Only one that could possibly beat him is rampage.

    Yes but remember that the general rule is you can (no pun intended) only include names where easy alteration of the name to incorporate the word "Can" is possible and plausible (Forrest Griffin must be an exception), regardless of whether they are an actual can or not. So as I've already mentioned before..."Candy Couture" makes perfect sense doesnt it Mr Pride simply because it allows u to incorporate the word "can" rather aptly and without great diversion. What about "CANk Abbot"? But u may find it more difficult altering Georges St Pierre?

    Is that because Rampage has the power of Pride within him?

    Um, he beat his ass already....and if anyone has slowed down at this point it's rampage...I mean for God's sake, he lost to Forrest Griffin and Rashad...we all know why Shogun lost to Forrest (knee), so that's irrelevant

    Rich is the better sharper striker and has 1 punch KO power. I expect him to stick to the game plan and stop Forrest in the 2nd round. -170 isn't bad considering outside of Vitor and Silva nobody has really blown Ace out.

    is forrest being counted out? forrest is waay bigger than rich and went head to head with rampage.

    rich wont be going for takedowns or anything either.
    is rich really the better striker? rich lacks the killer instinct to finish after knocking down or rocking forrest and forrest has a good enough chin where it would take more than 1 punch to put him away. he IS a quitter though (rashad, silva) but i could see him winning an easy dec via leg kicks and pillow fists.

    anyways, i think rich takes it too but at -170 i dont really see any value. it's a no play for me.

    I think you should read what Lask put again...it states December 23 NOT PAGE 23!!!!! Im quite certain that u must be doing this to just get a reaction now (or at least hope you are), as surely nobody on this earth can be as ignorant and retarded as you are bro! It's frankly quite amazing how one (you) can read a post and literally 0% of what is actually stated goes in to one's (your) brain, moreover as in your case you even somehow manage to fabricate things out of nowhere such as "Page 23!!
