[quote comment=”186550″]Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman.

Is he strong? Listen bud—
He’s got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey there! There goes the Spiderman.

In the chill of the night,
At the scene of the crime,
Like a streak of light,
He arrives just in time!

Spiderman, Spiderman,
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman.
Wealth and fame, he’s ignored—
Action is his reward.
To him,
Life is a great big bang-up—
Wherever there’s a hang-up,
You’ll find the Spiderman![/quote]

LMAO!!!

You're not a well rounded fighter if you don't, Rich relies on Jujitsu, standup and GnP.. and he finally paid the price with his lack of training in wrestling offense, because of someone with the stand up and jujitsu abilities of Silva. Not to say Rich could ever beat Silva, I always forget Rich doesn't take a punch as well as some of the tougher UFC fighters.

The Cinncinati(?) crowd were a bunch of dicks, oh well I guess it serves them right that both of there fighters lost. By the way, watching Jorge Gurgel(sounds like gurgle) get his pretty little face get tenderized into hamburger was wonderful, I dont know why the ref didnt stop it, but oh well, welcome to the ufc kid What’s up with the booing of Big Tim, I know he’s not a fan favorite, but none of these people know him, what is this the wwe where you cheer for the good guy and boo the bad guy?

the top 15 IMO CHAMPION - Anderson Sliva - CHAMPION
1 dan henderson - NON 185
2 paulo filho - NON UFC
3 matt linland - NON UFC
4 rich franklin - just got owned by silva twice
5 yushin okami - already got ko’ed by silva.
6 nate marquardt - already ko’ed by silva
7 denis kang - NON UFC
8 martin Kampmann - recovering from injury, with more fights he may fight silva
9 trevor prangley - NON UFC
10 robbie lawler - NON UFC
11 jason macdonald - too low in ufc order to get a shot.
12 frank shamrock - NON UFC
13 chris leben - already got ko’ed by silva
14 thales leites - lost to kampmann, too low in order to fight silva
15 frank trigg - NON UFC
of fighters there who are fighting in the ufc at 185
okami, kampmann, macdonald, leites are the only ones who are in contention against anderson silva, even though okami got knocked out he got the dq win so the ufc will probably hype that.
the next fight for silva is okami if okami gets another win. mark my words and hardcore nerdiness[/quote]

As we've seen with Anderson, you don't really need a lot of muscle in MMA. MMA strength is different. Guys like BJ and Karo have MMA strength, yet are not very muscular. I'd pay to see Franklin vs. GSP. R u serious? Rich used to fight at 205 he's an enomous 185er. No way he could make WW. Moving back to LHW is much more realistic.[/quote] Look at Rich's weigh in pic. To see those little ripply muscles that look like ribs, you have to be at bodybuilder competition bodyfat (about 4 or 5%) if you go much below this it spells death. So ,Rich could could never fight lower than MW, he is stretching it at that. [quote post=”3489″]Here’s a thought: can Rich lose some muscle and move down to WW?

Let me also add if Vera did break his hand ,that was a super pathetic and lame performance by Syvia, because he should of destroyed a guy with one hand and Vera look no worse for the wear, after they wiped the blood off that scratch on the top of his head.
