I’ve been asked a lot on what I think who is going to win: Rich “Ace” Franklin or Forrest Griffin. You can read my full Franklin vs Griffin coverage online, but I will also share some of my thoughts here:
First of all, I think that they are both very solid on their feet. I will give the advantage to Franklin here, simply because he is a smarter fighter. He also has great low kick capabilities, but so does Forrest. If I were Dana White, I couldn’t do a better job of setting up such a fight. I actually don’t know what to predict. I mean, Franklin should win on paper, but anything can happen in the MMA world today.
Lets say that the fight will go to a clinch; Forrest has obvious advantage there because he is a stronger fighter after all. None of them have the finishing capabilities on the ground though.
