Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill at UFC 88 is going to be an exciting match up. Looking at just skills and experience I would take Franklin but they are fighting at the 205 lbs weight class. Franklin is used to being the stronger fighter but since he’s going up 15lbs and Hamill is a strong 205 fighter anyway, it is going to be a change for Franklin.
Here’s some thoughts from Franklin on the fight:

Yes i agree this will be an interesting fight. I have known matt hamill 5 years ago before he joined the ufc. I met rich franklin maybe a year ago at International Combat Event where i fought im Rooting for Franklin cause that bastard Hamill thinks hes the best and told me if i fight in the cage id end up in the hospital. Franklin saw me fight and said that to keep on practicing. Im deaf as well. My dream is to take on Matt Hamill. 2 deaf guys going pound for pound.

International combat event doesnt do live on television. Wish i did have myself on tv. Im not pro yet, lots to learn. Just hoping Rich knocks Hamill out of the cage. Hamill is a slow fighter and out of breath fast.
