It won't at all. Tension in Brazil right now with the whole World Cup shitfest makes it even more risky.

If franklin is motivated to get a win he gots it in the bag, if he shows up not being hungry, silva might actually win but
we must take silvas chin into consideration so the odds are strongly in franklins favor

Thats a good point, but i dont think it will go down like that cuz Wandy gassed in the first fight and didnt get finished, how ever this is a five rounder so its still up in the air. I see it looking like a longer version of the first fight

After Franklin was grinded out by Forrest Griffin, i doubt he is very hungry at all. Franklin was looking to make a 205 title run, but that loss completely derailed that. IMO Franklin is nothing but a gatekeeper, he can't put together a win streak to save his life.

After watching Franklin's interview and how has walking about how "Because i beat him once, i can beat him again. I already have him figured out" blah blah blah. Franklin is going down and he knows it.

Shit man, I thought you got Banned. Good to see you back here after that shit storm. Yeah, Rich is going to need an escort out after he KO's silva. I love Wandy, but I don't see him taking this one.

I don't know why people are acting like Wanderlei has a glass jaw. All the shots that have knocked him out, have come from huge blows that would KO anybody. If anything, he just has bad defense. But I've seen him take blow after blow and keep on coming and honestly, I don't know if Rich has the kind of one hit KO power that Hendo, Cro Cop, Belfort, and Rampage have, so I'm not seeing this KO that everybody is talking about.

This should be a good war, and if ANYBODY is getting KOed, it's Rich. It almost happened last fight anyway.

Are these the first two fighters to go against each other for the second time as the main event of a non title bout? I hope that makes sense. They fought each other as the main event at UFC 99 as a non title bout and they are doing it again. Any other fights in the UFC like that happen?

On a side note, I think I would be more interested in the main event if it were Wandy vs Forrest. That fight intrigues me for some reason. Too bad they are in different weight classes now.
