Why is rich franklin ace

I use my Twitter specifically for motivational quotes and nutrition quotes and things like that. I have absolutely zero interest in that, so I steer clear of it one hundred percent and always have. And why not? And aside from the drama, I can also present the UFC in a very positive manner to foreign markets that are unfamiliar with mixed martial arts. We went into Germany and we were educating the German people about MMA, and when we went into Ireland it was the same thing.

So having me help present mixed martial arts and explain it to the press is very beneficial. It can be a draining process, both before and after the event, with the fight itself sometimes being the most stress-free part of the process.

Please enter an email address. Something went wrong. Rich Franklin opens up about life after fighting: 'That's a difficult adjustment'. In what would be a repeat of the same, Silva virtually destroyed Franklin with knees to the head and body, thus cementing the start of his strangle hold on the pound division. Over the last few years, Ace has been plagued with injuries and a recent loss to Brazilian Powerhouse Vitor Belfort.

While contemplating his next move, he did UFC President Dana White a great favor, and served as a last minute replacement coach and opponent for Chuck Liddell on this season of the The Ultimate Fighter.

Last night, in a fight that may serve as a career shaper for both men, Rich Franklin showed why he's truly an ace. In what was an action packed fight, Franklin was able to put "The Iceman" down with a right hand towards the end of the 1st round. What made his victory even more impressive was his ablility to get the win even after suffering a broken left arm from a blocked body kick administered by Liddell.

Whether Franklin continues fighting in the lb division is uncertain, but regardless of where he goes from here, he has surely ensured that he'll be a UFC Hall of Famer. Throughout his career, Ace has carried himself with dignity and class which for so many reasons has earned Rich Franklin the title of "Nicest Guy in MMA".
