We've seen Brock Lesnar, Jon Jones, Kenny Florian and Brian Stann. Now it's Rich Franklin's turn to occupy the analyst chair for this weekend's UFC 144: "Edgar vs. Henderson" event. "Ace" will help out during the weigh-ins tonight (Feb. 24) alongside Jon Anik (coverage here) and the post-fight show on FUEL with Jay Glazer. How will Franklin, who used to be a school teacher, compare to the rest of the bunch?

The event also features a featherweight title fight pitting champion Jose Aldo vs. Kenny Florian, not to mention a middleweight number one contender bout between Chael Sonnen and Brian Stann. Expect a larger version to become available as we get closer to fight night. How do you like this one?

The sweat stained canvas is filled with the blood of the event's competitors, including but not limited to Diego Nunes's head after getting cut by Kenny Florian's razor sharp elbows and Shane Carwin's face after its encounter with Junior dos Santos's fist.
