Loss to Forrest...decision------------------------------------------------Not a degrading loss because of match-fup similarities.
Knocked out Liddell even though one arm literally broke----------Liddel was not top tier at the time, but come on, he knocked out Chuck Liddelll while nursing a broken arm.
TKO loss 1st rd to Vitor.----------------------- Yikes.
WON decision against Wandy.----------------I saw it, good call by judges.
Loss, split decision to the Hendo Bomber.-----------------------------Pretty respectable in my mind.
TKO win vs. Hammill---------------------only 2 others have handed "the Hammer's" ass* to him. That was Jon Jones and Gustafsson. And surprise surprise, those two round out the Top 3 LHWs.
*Rampage won by decision.
In conclusion, Rich Franklin's last few fights way above par compared to most top 10 MW/LHWs.
Franklin by decision.
