Live on Saturday January 17, 2009 at the O2 Arena in Dublin, Ireland. Rich “Ace” Franklin (24-3) will face Dan “Hollywood” Henderson (23-7) or as I like to call him “Decision Dan”.
Franklin besides getting two savage beat downs by Anderson Silva has been extremely impressive in the Octagon. His last loss other than to Silva came back in 2003 against Lyoto Machida. He is extremely well rounded and tough as nails.
Dan is going to give Franklin all he can handle. He has lost two of his last three fights, but looked very strong against Rousimar Palhares at UFC 88 scoring a unanimous decision victory. Hendo is always a dangerous opponent and loves to stand and bang. Expect to see fireworks when these two clash and this fight will be a toss to who will be victorious.
The winner of this fight will serve as the next coach on TUF 9 and will then fight Michael Bisping after the show is complete.
Dont Forget UFC 93 is in Ireland, so the fights will begin on Saturday 17 at 3:00 p.m. E.T. So make sure you get your bets in on time.
