Lutter will win this fight by either submission or decision.

I'm going to pick Rich, because he will dominate Lutter in the second round.
Watch :)

Don't pick Lutter just because Franklin can't beat Silva and you think his "time" is up. I made this mistake at first. This is the kind of guy who Rich beats. Its all about matchups, and Rich is a bad matchup for anyone but A. Silva and Machida.
I agree. Franklin is almost impossible to submit, and Lutter's striking skills aren't up to par.
"MMAth" is dangerous here, for a few reasons. First, Silva fought Lutter on two bad knees. People read too much into that fight, imo. If they fought again, I don't think Lutter would last one round with Silva.
Second, Silva isn't a GnP fighter, Franklin is. Franklin beat the tar out of Jason MacDonald, Evan Tanner, and Ken Shamrock; Lutter would have to be a much better fighter than those three guys just to make this a close fight, and I don't think he is.
Third, getting KO'd by Anderson Silva doesn't mean you have a "weak" chin. I hate to use the word "noob", because I welcome new fans to the sport, but people who claim that Franklin has a weak chin simply don't know their sh*t. Nate Marquardt and Chris Leben had never been (T)KO'd before or since and Silva diced them up. There isn't a fighter in the world that Silva couldn't knock out, almost regardless of weight class.

How many of you changed your mind after watching the count down? I am sticking with Franklin and not buying the hype. Franklin has fought tougher guys and performed well. He is dificult to submit. I remeber Okami had him in a nasty kimura for like a whole minute and he patiently endured the pain as he watched the clock expire. He will stick to his plan and stand up every chance he gets. no finish.
Franklin wins UD!

Im picking Rich as well 2nd round KO.
Lutter will try and take it to the ground but I see Franklin avoiding most of the takedown attempts to keep it standing and work him over for the win.

I picked Lutter by sub in the second round. I think Rich needs to take a while off,to collect his thoughts and get rested up.I think were going to see Rich come into this at only 50%.Lutter will be dangerous and ready.
