I would struggle on who to give the stand up to. Rich would have the technical advantage whereas Hendo has a better chin and more knockout power. If Hendo were to take it to the ground, I could see Rich submitting him possibly. Hendo survived with Palhares though so it may be more difficult than you would think. Sounds like a pretty incredible fight. Rich and Hendo is a tough one to call. I would struggle on who to give the stand up to.

Henderson would put a WHOPPING on Franklin if they ever fought. Wait, is my Hendo love clouding my judgement??? If they were to fight, I still think that Hendo would open as a slight favorite. He'd be a bigger favorite, but Franklin still has more name recognition in the states, which brings money his way. NC, your Cincinatti love is clouding your judgment.
