With Andy Silva being popped and exposed as having used PEDs his whole UFC career.....do we need to bump Franklin up?

Franklin was just a hardworking, former math teacher from Ohio who had a very distinguished UFC career before Andy came and cheated his way to the top.

And there is no asterisk involved with Franklin. He beat a lot of tough guys without needing PEDs. Tough guys like the late Evan Tanner, David Loiseau, Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Liddell, Travis “The Leopard” Lutter and Nate “The Rock” Quarry.

What say you Sher-felines?

Just because someone gets caught "saucin" doesn't mean they're any lesser a fighter!

Ace was the best at 185 until Andy entered teh UFC!
 
Silva never tested positive in his prime and beat the biggest PED user in MMA history (Chael Sonnen is the only one who popped for the holy triad of PEDs: testosterone/hGH/EPO)
 
Not the greatest but damn near perfect

Humble, hard working, entertaining, well rounded skills. Never refused a fight and was always flexibile with scheduling/weight classes

He's literally the perfect employee. Adjective that gets thrown around alot is that he was the ultimate company man
 
What about rich franklin, he was pretty good?

I take it you never spent a day in a gym in your life if you think you need steroids to look like Franklin.

Im sure you are in the same shape as Rich Franklin sitting behind your PC. Rich Franklin was a physical specimen and in phenomenal shape. He use to beat guys to death and had endless cardio. He was on the shit just like Anderson

But, but, but how can you have a physique like this without any sauce? Right?

Josh Barnett says "hold my needle."

Dude's still popping to this day.

He massively dehydrated to make 185. He only fought during his prime. He was not a party guy. Clean diet, good genes, and willpower.
