... at the 2008 National Rock Paper Scissors Championships:
With "Ace" testing the light heavyweight waters once again perhaps we can see the real thing one day soon.

i wouldnt mind seein rich at 205. lots of interesting fights there for him. i would love a rich vs forrest fight! and he has hamill, evans, irvin, all great matchups imo. And if he beats some of these guys, he can prove himself against the wandis, jacksons, lidells, lyotos (rematch), hendersons.
But before he moves up, one fight that has to happen is rich vs bisping!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, did that really happen? thats funny stuff!

Yeah, it truly did happen! That was the real deal right there, no special effects!…Well anyway, hope they could slug it out instead. That’ll be a strikefest!

franklin looks like a jackshow i hope he moves up to 205 i think he is better suited there and i can see him becoming one of the top guys at lhw in the future that is after rampage beats forest ass and chuck gets retired for the 3rd time when he faces off with rampage again

or loses to Rashad, don’t count him out of that fight!
by halljam2 on Jul 2, 2008 11:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I will absoulutely count Rashad out until the day of the fight. Whenever a fight starts I always realize anything can happen, but my feeling up until that day will be that Rashad will look great planted in the octagon floor.

As for the actual video, I was actually suprised how much bigger Rich is than Wandy. Also, look how competetive Wandy is! He even takes his rock, paper,scissors seriously. haha

It’s the 2008 Rock-Paper-Scissors championship…pretty weird, who would have thought they’d participate…

wanderlei may lose in in r/p/s , but he would murder rich in a fight lol
by mr.rice-a-roni on Jul 2, 2008 10:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
He won in Rock/Paper/Scissors, actually. We might be able to see how he’d fare against Frankilin if Franklin does, indeed, move up to 205(and I think you might be surprised by the result).

no he actually lost you gotta watch the second video it was apperntly like best of 7 or something and Rich was down 2-1 but came back and won.
by GSP4Prez on Jul 2, 2008 11:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was a 3 set match. Wandi won the first set. Rich won the second 2. There were 3 games per set.

WAR WAND!!! Seriously though he would kill franklin.

I beleive Franklin would actually have a good shot at beating Wandy. But then again Brazillians are his kriptonite

One: What was in the first video that I didnt see in the second video?
Two: What is the point of the second video?
Three: I want 2 minutes of my life back.

Haha! Good one C-War! Unfortunately, those 2 minutes will be embedded in your memory till the day you die…
by TheNegation on Jul 3, 2008 2:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The first video was Wanderlei winning the 1st set 2-1
The second video was Rich winning the 2nd set 2-1
Also included in the second video was the conclusion.
The tie-breaking 3rd set went to Rich Franklin 2-0.
There you have it folks

Wanderlei and Rich would be a good fight. I would have to go with Wandy.

Funny shit’ Wandy keeps impressing me with his good nature.
by THORAZINE on Jul 2, 2008 11:42 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
No kidding. In PRIDE they always played like he was a savage, and in the ring he is, but outside of a fight he seems to be really nice and humble. I like him more and more each time I see him.

Your not the only one. Might have to worry about early stand ups though.
by Bob on Jul 3, 2008 2:19 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It would be funny if rich moved up to 205.. and they put him up against Anderson silva at 205… lol bad news for rich
by Ricky on Jul 3, 2008 12:03 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I was thinking the same thing, it’s crazy that Rich fights at 185.
by Haze on Jul 3, 2008 8:43 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah my thoughts exactly, he is a huge 185er.

there’s no doubt franklin can compete at light heavy man, look at the dude..if wanderlei and hendo can hang at 205 so can franklin..

i think i’m in love with that gal. oh and the arm wrastle or what ever was umm there too. you guys think she digs skiny red head dudes from utah?

This explains the win over Wanderlei in Franklins record according to Sherdog. It is just listed as win via Rock at RPS World Championships. Makes sense now.

Pretty funny stuff, Rich looks like he is around 220 or so.
by yoububg on Jul 3, 2008 7:38 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Rich is a bigger dude than Silva….I think most people dont realize how small/short Wanderlei is, its just that once hes in the ring he acts like a freakin psycho maniac killer so all that size crap goes out the window, I mean look what he did to 6’2 Jardine in 36 seconds who was a former HW…..
by Chadx23 on Jul 3, 2008 9:03 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wandi is a small LHW for sure I think he is 5’10 respectfully. However if he were to fight Rich at 205..another visit to the hospital for Rich.
by PhilQNY on Jul 3, 2008 11:24 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
PhilQny: Rich just needs to stay away from anyone that has ever stepped foot inside a chute box Gym….simple as that!
by john on Jul 3, 2008 1:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
wanderlei is so funny… he’s like a child… whether its rock paper scissors or in the cage… he has the same attitude and just seems to get all competitive and really enjoys what he does! it was funny to see him stretching and flexing his fingers between rounds!

LOL, wandy is like a big kid, gotta love that guy.

I love playing “RPS” shirtless with my frienda!
by willis on Jul 3, 2008 12:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Valiant comeback from Rich! I hope they didn’t have all the competitors take off their shirts for matches.
by PJJ on Jul 3, 2008 2:56 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
man, can Rich catch a break in anything these days?! let’s recap his life this year…loses to Anderson twice, moves to LHW where he might end up facing Anderson again, spotted reading a playboy rather than training, and now a Rock Paper Scissors contest.
Should be send him money or letters to keep his head up? hang in there Rich!!
by LIFT on Jul 3, 2008 10:33 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
