UFC 135 video predictions with Rich Franklin for 'Jones vs Rampage' in Denver

Former middleweight champion Rich Franklin predicts that the youth and freakishly long reach of light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will be too much for Quinton Jackson to handle in the UFC 135 main event. "Ace" feels that the only person who can beat Jon Jones is Jon Jones. Can "Bones," 24, handle the pressure -- especially when matched up against such a wily, hard-hitting veteran -- of the lofty expectations heaped on him or will Jackson send him crashing back to reality in the "Mile High City?" Share your predictions in the comments section below. Be sure to also check out the rest of Franklin's UFC 135 predictions after the jump:

Matt Hughes vs. Josh Koscheck

Ben Rothwell vs. Mark Hunt

Nate Diaz vs. Takanori Gomi

That's really the fight that should have happened in Toronto though.

Not Randy vs Lyoto.

Randy is better at fighting than at picking fights.

Professional sig bet record: 5-6-1

His record seems to indicate that his fighting skills

are on par with his picking skills.

Sometimes, these things happen in MMA

This is clearly not stylin’

Rich knows what’s up but I gotta go with Page… ; )

Rich go back to middleweight

face the facts you’re not gonna get any ufc belt again, but you still have some pretty interesting fights at middleweight. I want you to be a high level gate keeper say Jim Miller.

Not to be a dick or anything

But I would much rather read a post from Starr788, danago, or arm.bar.bandit then ever read anything from you, you irrelevant piece of trash.

by Mactruck on Sep 15, 2011 2:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

So

As much as I don’t like Jones’ personality lately, I don’t see him losing this fight.

Would make great timing for Rampage v. Franklin. Both would be coming off a loss. Franklin is healthy in Dec right?

Franklin is healthy in Dec right?

Who knows? It’s only September…
