LOL. But nah, I think it would be a great fight. I think that Hendo would come in to that fight wanting to show off his standup. Hendo/Franklin would be a war. Dan Henderson would be the favorite for sure, a rather large favorite at that, especially if he beats Anderson. If I were to make odds for a Henderson/Franklin fight right now, they would be Henderson: -220 Frankline: 180 Sound about right to anyone else? By the way, I'm leaving work now, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course he have a chance, BUT it would be slim to none!!! LOL.

That is a perfect fight for him to get back in the mix of things. He can shake off the ring rust against a guy that wont beat him up at all and will just try and submit him. This would be a great warm up fight for Tanner, who is crafty enough in ju jitsu to nullify Lutters submissions, but too brutal for Lutter to handle. Great suggestion Mania, I hope Joe Silva see's it the same way u do![/quote] I second that, well explained. If Tanner comes back at 100% then he should take the fight. It would be the perfect match up as Lutter is no push over so Tanner would have to bring it and have good cardio.
