If rich franklin were to fight dan henderson who would you go for?

Question

I like both of these guys and there both fan favorites for me it's just hard to choose who id want to win.although as a fan id really like to see this fight

Answer 1

I like both fighters a lot but I'd rather see Dan Henderson because I'd like to see a rematch with Silva at some point.  I really do see anyone else having a chance against Silva right now.

Answer 2

Hendo would kill him.  That guy scares me, even if he is coming off two losses.

Answer 3

i got to go with rich, Dan does have a good right hand but rich overall has better stand up, plus I'm not to fond of wrestlers, they just take there opponent down and sit on them the whole fight, it gets boring.

Answer 4

I would rout for Dan Henderson, because I've always liked him and his tenacity. Both guys are class acts, and are good for the sport of MMA.

I feel Rich would probably win this fight though. Granted, Henderson is an Olympic silver medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling, but Rich is one of the most well-rounded guys out there.

Rich is a more polished striker, and in my opinion, he has better submissions and sub-defense than Henderson. The other thing is Rich is huge for 185.

With that said, Henderson utilizes the clinch very well, and is great at dirty boxing. Henderson has dynamite is his right hand that has knocked out Wanderlei Silva, a natural light-heavyweight.

The only way for Rich to win is by KO. I doubt Rich is going to submit Hendo. If the fight happens, I'm routing for Dan all the way.

Answer 5

Dan Henderson via Right hand...

I think Rich is great, but his chin is a little questionable. Dan Henderson has an IRON jaw, Rich isn't going to knock him out, or outwrestle him.

Naturally my thought would be that it would be a matter of time before Dan landed that big shot on Rich and K.O.s him.

Just my thought.

Answer 6

Rich Franklin, his standup is better.
