Ask him what the hell he was thinking on TUF:






Also, ask him if he does a good Jim Carrey impression.

 

[FastTracker]

Ask him if he has any interest on grappling competitions or Metamoris

Ask him what the hell he was thinking on TUF:






The irony of that clip is that a short while after that aired fighters started taking advantage if not abusing that rule.

Something something Anderson Silva, something something clean when they fought?

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

How many fights left on his contract? I know he wants one more, but does he have multiple fights left, thus meaning he's retiring as a UFC guy?

Seems absurd to ask but with Bellator signing Tito, Rampage, and now Ken fucking Shamrock, I'm just curious if it's a lock that Rich will never be fighting for any other org. again (since it's a given he's not going to fight more than once more at most in the UFC).

I second this. I wouldn't mind seeing him grapple with another big name.

 

[Wise1]

Ask him if he thinks Forrest was juiced up during their fight and ask him if he agrees with me that that was the most impressive Forrest Griffin weve ever seen.

when and against who will be his next/last fight

I came here to literally post what you did... word for word.

My work here it done... is normal.

Does he believe that the Jon Jones crawl towards Vitor Belfort was inspired by his strategy talk with Matt Serra?

How hard was he pushed to pump XYience for the cameras while coaching TUF?

Thoughts on Shamrock vs Kimbo announcement?

Is the OneFC president gig just a cover story for a CIA covert operation in Asia?

How come Jorge Gurgel never used his jiu jitsu in MMA matches?

Dana White and Joe Silva would probably give you any opponent you want, at whatever weight you want, for what you say is your retirement match, other than Weidman or Jon Jones... So give us a name, dammit.

 

[durgadurga]

Jones agrees with Rich Franklin.

 

[HatersUnited]

Ask him if he thinks Forrest was juiced up during their fight and ask him if he agrees with me that that was the most impressive Forrest Griffin weve ever seen.

I am pretty sure that it was known at the time that Forrest was on TRT.

Awesome Pic of Rich!

What is his stance on PED's? (He as always stated he was against them, but it would be good to get a more recent opinion.)

Is he happy the UFC is being Pro-active against them?

What his opinion of being a clean fighter that has taken on many known PED fighters? Vitor, Griffin, Hendo, Wand, A. Silva. Cung Lee?

I guess these are obvious questions, but anyways. What is his take on A. Silva's positive tests, how does he think it will affect his legacy, and his opinion on whether or not Silva has been using throughout his career.

Same thing with Cung Lee. Ask if he thinks Cung could have cheated for there fight.

What is his relationship with the UFC? Are they still in good terms? Where did it go sour if not?

Does he feel any remorse for his fight with Nate Quarry? One of the most devastating one punch knockouts in the history of the sport, and forced him to get back surgery after the fight. Though he already had lingering back issues, I think it was worsened significantly during that fight.

Does he still have the the truck he received from TUF?

How is his business going in Cali? I read an article about him running a business that makes healthy smoothies/juicing, etc.


Much love Ace.

"Is normal", I lost it, lol. Watch the A. Silva Diaz conference argument if you haven't already seen it.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Does he know that if all of his losses against anyone known to have used PEDs during their career were changed to N/Cs, he never lost the belt and is still the lineal UFC MW champion?

That is actually a true statement.

Wow, less than 20 posts a year. This man only says something when it is important.

Everyone is just taking the chance to make fun of Franklin, sorry, but this is funny.
