UFC on Fuel 6

[poopoo333]

Main event is Rich Franklin vs Cung Le

[SPX]

Oh, we're doing this again. . .

Gotta say I think Franklin wins, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Cung take it.

[Luke]

Thought I saw Dong Hyun Kim Vs. Paulo Thiago was also on this card..........or am I making this up?

[poopoo333]

naw that's true

[poopoo333]

Looks like they are going to do Wanderlei Silva/Patrick Cote on this card.

Very surprised they are putting Wanderlei, Le, and Franklin of a Fuel card that nobody will see.

[poopoo333]

Rich Franklin (-260) vs Cung Le (+210)

[SPX]

Hmm, I dunno . . . did Le's performance against Cote indicate that he is MORE or LESS likely to beat Rich?

[poopoo333]

More, but Franklin looked great except for Wandy's flurry at UFC 147. Also, this is a 5 round fight. Can Cung Le's gas hold on that long? Also, he might have been rushed into this fight as Dana wanted him to headline the China card...Le's foot was real fucked up after 148, broken I think. So Le might have/be getting a late start on training for this fight.

[SPX]

Oh, 5 rounds . . . hmm.

No, I think Le will be done cardio wise by the third.

[poopoo333]

I actually want to play Franklin at -260, but want to see where the line goes..don't want my $ tied up for no reason. I hate when that happens.

[SPX]

I really do think Rich will win, but -260 is just rough.

[Ludo]

Hmm, I dunno . . . did Le's performance against Cote indicate that he is MORE or LESS likely to beat Rich?

Less. He was very hittable late in the fight when Cote refused to pull the trigger. Not to mention he was susceptible to the clinch and whatnot. After two or three rounds Le is going to gas and gas hard. Franklin by TKO in the 4th.

[SPX]

Hypothetically speaking, if Le had a great gas tank then who would you favor?

[edman5555]

Good point about the broken foot and quick turnaround. I hope franklins line gets better.

[edman5555]

Franklin can probably get inside for some good clinchwork and wear le out.
