Most underrated legend imo. Not enough people talk about him n give him credit. Also has an inspirational story since he was a former math teacher. Im happy that ONE does and gave him a high position in their company

Franklin is my second or third favorite fighter in MMA history. I met him at an airport and he was the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet.

Loved the fact that the dude was a teacher by day and a killer in the ring at night

Franklin's finish rate was insane. Only 4 of his 29 wins went to a decision.

If not for the arrival of Anderson. This guy would’ve been champion for even longer than he was.

RIP Evan Tanner

Rich was one of my favorites right behind Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin and Rampage Jackson

I loved rich. Unfortunately he was never the same after Silva. He was so awesome though. I loved after every finish he'd just hold his arms out. Idk I just thought it was cool.

Imagine having had him as a teacher then you see him just caving guys heads in? Makes you remember how nice you were or weren't to Mr Franklin.

Especially since it was a kick

rich franklin was underated humbleness

Dynamic striker to say the least, how he mixes up all his shots and just wails on his opponents is just incredible to watch. He was undefeated from 99-03. He then came back from a lost and became champion. Who knows how different it would of been if Silva was never in the picture.

I love these comps please keep at it

My all time favorite fighter

I have to say during this era my best middleweight of all time was Rich Franklin he was a great fighter

i loved Richs style as a kid and then i saw Silva. still love Rich no matter what

He was my favorite character on ufc game lol

One of the best all around fighters ever

One of my favourite fighters, but what Anderson Silva did to him, was nothing short of unbelievable. Back in the good old days when every fight was amazing but you could still be surprised.

Love this man!

Love this channel

Almost 10 years later and that Chuck Loss still hurts to watch.

Frankling de mis favoritos de toda la vida, no era muy técnico pero tenia corazón y una pegada muy buena.

Jesus. His striking is so damn crisp that he doesn’t really need to throw even 50% of his power to be effective.

What a great fighter for sure one of the all time greats who can forget the two wars he had with Wanderlei

He actually sent Evan Tanner back in evolution... when you beat someone so bad they become Neanderthal.

One of my favorite fighters of all time and he helped pioneer MMA country wide also let's not forget when Rich knocked out Chuck he had a broken Arm too dudes a warrior also R.I.P Evan Tanner

he's from my home town so cool to see someone from my town do awesome things

I sonetimes forget that hes been behind some of the most horrifyingly brutal finishes in company history 😮

Never hear much about rich, what an awesome fighter though.

The best

And he did it all on a dare.

One of the all time bests, he made it look easy

Loved the guy, but Liddell was my favorite LHW, Franklin was my favorite in MW, until Silva came along, I still rooted for him until he fought Liddell, but his chin was gone by then, both legends and warriors

My favorite light heavy of the era.

Ace !

Love to see a Melvin guillard finish video

Rich was a scary dude, the reign Anderson silva had.....I thought rich was going to have.....until he ran into the spider.....either way ace is a legend

Рич лучший!!!!

Would like to see Rich in his prime against guys like Adesanya, Whitaker, Strickland and Costa.

Jim Carey is insane

Franklin had some heavy hands

Weird watching Mario Yamasaki stepping in and not allowing Hamill to die on the mat. So he used to care about fighters safety.

Literally EVERY single person to ever hold a win over him either pissed hot or fought with a testosterone exemption at some point or another.

Rich Franklin really is one of the top middleweights of all time but his losses to Anderson Silva really tarnished his career. Silva made him look like a child

The thing is at that point there was no striker that could beat Anderson. It's sort of like Pokemon where only a wrestler stood a chance at beating him. Rich Franklin did get a take down in the second fight but his wrestling wasn't a huge threat to Anderson like Chael's and Weidman's or even Dan Henderson's wrestling. So out of all the strikers Rich Franklin did the best. He did much better than Forrest and Bonnar did against Anderson.

Jorge Rivera was tough AF. Love that guy Real fighter.

Why did Ken Florian say “beautiful headkick, almost landed right on the neck”….???? It landed on the head where it was supposed to. what is this guy talking about ???

Rich Franklin was in a movie called CYBORG SOLDIER. Love it❤. I don't know anything about him, but my brother does and we argued, I said that Rich looks like Matt Damon and my brother said No he looks like Jim Carey as ACE VENTURA which is why his nickname is ACE😅 Is that true about Rich Franklin?😁

He should be in ufc 4

Silvas style was very new to the sport when Franklin was on top. It surprised a lot of great fighters except Jake Paul

he was my favourite fighter including Anderson Silva...

Just goes to show how good anderson silva was

I'm just guessing that students didn't get out of line with this particular math teacher.

Is nate quarry ok?

silva fights was a mma work

Idk where Matt hamil was tapping

Nate quarry was knocked out by a gust of wind😂😂😂😂😂

Thats ridiculous how long it took for john mccarthy to stop rich & ken. 20 bone crushing punches. Later
