is starting to look amazing

Silva vs Hendo
Franklin vs Lutter
Fitch vs Gono
Koscheck vs Hazelett
Halverson vs Gurgel

this could be the fight card of the year and its only in march

Hendo> Silva
Fitch> Gono
Koscheck> Hazelett
Halverson> Gurgel ( Jorge has been horrible in most of his fights. He even lost to Jason Von Flue!!)

Now onto, what I see as, the important matchup. Franklin vs Lutter. Two Middleweights, one obviously greater than the other. However, the apparent lesser of the two has shown that he could possibly beat Anderson Silva, while the other has been dominated twice.

So lets assume Hendo beats Silva and Franklin beats Lutter. I'm sure we'd see Franklin vs Silva 3. But how would Franklin beat Silva? I can't understand why he wont even attempt to take Silva down. Its been proven thats the only way Rich might be able to beat him. I cant see Franklin getting a shot at Hendo without going through Silva. Thoughts?
