Currently recovering from shoulder injury, former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich "Ace" Franklin shared his prediction for this month's UFC 135: Jones vs. Rampage in Denver, Colorado. According to Franklin, "young and fresh" Jon Jones will be too much for Rampage Jackson, who will struggle to execute his gameplan against the reigning UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.

    I hate how I'm a fan, and their "experts" or "professionals" in the sport, and always say the same stuff we know and realize.. they don't talk more in depth, talk deeper strategy, or even use more advanced terms then the rest of us... far different then watching NFL players speak about other players or methodologies concerning the game. From top to bottom, unless Bas Rutten is talking, I never hear ANYTHING I wouldn't realize from the outside looking in...

    I think its because they are in a business, and the company they are a part of is attempting to promote a fight. Obviously Rich isn't going to be saying why is this fight happening, Jones is a clear winner here.

    betta be careful Rich rampage is gonna wanna kick your ass for picking against him,, someone needs to research this further I have checked all over and have yet to find another fighter that has a longer reach than Jon Jones 84" Semmy Schultz has a shorter reach, Stephen Struve is shorter even that big Japanese guy hung man choy is only 82" I still say JJ's reach is the longest in MMA

    Two men enter, one man leaves. Bute really why are we talkingabout this or entertaining anything Rich

    has to say,, If It weren't for a crazy lucky punch to a perhaps past his prime(only by strike to the head) Chuck LIdell. you Chuck was in fantastic shape, Kickedlike he had'nt since UFC sent him to pride, Broke your arm, and pretty much beat you up everywhere, Just like anderson silva.



    Because you have been a Math Teacher, you assume that you have the ability to figure any opponent out? I.ve got a degree in mechanical engineering, used to box, and make mistakes on a daily basis.



    I respect you Rich and think you are an eloquent oroator and good for the future of broadcasting in MMA, but lets not get ahaead of ourselves here...............................~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
