It’s all fun and games until somebody gets poked in the eye. Word from Rich Franklin’s official website is that he will not need Anthony Johnson-esque surgery to repair the eye that Dan Henderson got knuckle-deep into, which is always good news.
Dan Henderson +23 He won the fight. That’s the good news. He didn’t look spectacular doing it, and we aren’t dying to see more of that particular style in the future, but a win is a win. Now we have Hendo-Bisping to look forward to. And that’s, you know, okay… Rich Franklin -8
All fighters hit their mark comfortably today at the UFC 93 weigh-ins in Dublin — quite comfortably, in fact. Dan Henderson came in a full three pounds under the 205-pound limit for his main event bout, while Rich Franklin weighed in at 203. More surprising was former middleweight Martin Ka...
That said, I think Franklin is the better all-around fighter. All he has to do is keep Henderson from taking him down and holding him there while peppering him with elbows, which is undoubtedly Hendo’s game plan. “Ace” is going to end up on his back once or twice, but he’ll take over in the sec...
The UFC seems committed to offering the remaining “Ultimate Fighter” coaching spot to the winner of the Rich Franklin-Dan Henderson bout at UFC 93 this weekend, despite the fact that neither of them seem excited about getting the job, least of all Franklin. That makes for not only an anti...
Odds for the five televised bouts at UFC 93 are out on all the big betting sites. Since the undercard (with the possible exception of the Martin Kampmann-Alexandre Barros bout) is made up mostly of guys you don’t know well or at all, it’s probably best that the off-shore experts don’t entic...
Here's the next installment in Dana White's UFC 93 video blog, where the UFC prez and Rich Franklin commiserate over England's shitty food, Dana confronts Dan Henderson on his perceived shit-talking, and more fun with the British TUF 9 tryouts. Man, that Dana White sure loves his Guitar...
Though it won't be televised in the U.S. for some inexplicable reason, the UFC taped a "Countdown" special for #93 that is airing in the U.K. on Setanta Sports and on UFC.com. Here's part one, which covers the long-awaited meeting of Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson. 8:56-9:33 is pretty priceles...

“I’d fight him. The thing about a Machida fight that isn’t appealing to me is that stylistically, Machida is kind of a boring fighter. That’s not a putdown. He’s very, very effective. He’s good at what he does. He’s constantly backing away and forces his opponent into mistakes, and that’s how he...
