Interesting match up, and hard to call. I think Lutter will have a tuffer time with Franklin than he did with Silva. Franklin will be harder to take down, which is obvious where Lutter wants to take the fight. I like both guys, but I am going to be pulling for Lutter.

I think if Lutter would have beat Silva if he didn't have so much trouble with the weight cut. He just didn't look like he had the energy to finish the fight.

Who are you taking?

I don't know that Lutter is all that great I just think he is a good match up to defeat Anderson Silva but will have a tough time with Franklin. You know styles make fights.

I think Lutter is a great fighter. I wish he would throw knuckles more, because he seems to have good power(ie. ko'ing Eastman). He seems to be one dimensional with only wanting to work his ground game. I think Franklin is much better on his feet, but I question his chin. He has been rocked a multiple times. I would like to see if Lutter could test his chin. I have a feeling Lutter is going to have a hard time taking him down, so I hope he works on his stand up. I like Franklin, but I don't see him getting the belt back (atleast while Silva holds it). So, I would rather see Lutter win because I think he matches up better with Silva. Plus, he is a Texas boy so, I have to back the home team.
