Ill first start off by saying this, as a true old school fan of MMA I am happy to see Mark Colman in the UFC again. Even though he may not be the dominant fighter we remember from the early years of UFC. He is a legend and the father of “Ground and Pound.”

Rich Franklin vs Dan Henderson UFC 93
By John Gagne
We have an interesting and pivotal match up this Saturday in the Ireland, Dan “Hollywood” Henderson Vs. Rich “Ace” Franklin. One we would expect to see at the Middleweight level. However circumstances in the name of Anderson “The Spider” Silva, has left these fighters a situation that caused them to go up in weight.
If this fight was at the Middleweight level the UFC would not gain much, but both fighters moving back up to Light Heavyweight has some substantial implications. The first being title contention. The winner would catapult himself to the top 3 or 4 in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. And the loser possibly rethinking his next move, whether to go back down to a more suitable weight (Middleweight) or take a step down in competition. Neither of which either man can afford.

“… I think the smack talk people are talking about was taken out of context. I said that if he was beating me in the stand-up then I would take him down and beat him up on the ground…. I want to beat him up on the feet and then beat him up on the ground. I’m going to keep him guessing and mix it up but I don’t really see his being south-paw a problem.”
– Dan Henderson (via The Mirror) clarifies the remarks he made about beating the shit out Rich Franklin at UFC 93: “Franklin vs. Henderson” at The O2 in Dublin, Ireland, on January 17. “Ace” had an amusing response in the UFC 93 “Countdown” show, which you can catch right here.
