I guess Franklin's going back to 205 since he has no chance at being champ at 185 and there aren't many fights for him there outside of Hendo.

I had read about this, and cant even think this is an interesting fight to watch. I guess the hope is Rich can win some big fights at 205, since he has no shot at a title at 185. Funny thing is, now Anderson is up at 205 too, must be a bad time for Rich.

That's what I was thinking. I think Rich should wait it out at 185 and hope for a permanent move to 205 for Silva. He's still got a lot of good fights at 185 IMO: Hendo, Nate, Kampmann, Thales, .....

His chin won't hold up at 205.

agreed at 205 he will beat many of the lower echelon guys, but the top guys there will kill him. I shudder to think of Wanderlei v. Franklin
