Feed him a wrestler....
?? Franklin is the epitome of a striker styled fighter. His gameplan was to KO Anderson twice...
I dunno man. Kinda depends how he plays it, if goes with a leben gameplan he loses, if not, I can see him pulling it off.
You're right. I was trying to work his current UFC record out in my head and he has some nice wins and not too many KO losses. But he's getting rocked and dropped in almost all his fights. He can still KO you at any time but I wish he could fight a Palhares or Shields or anyone that doesn't suggest he's only there to spill blood for no real reason.
yeah...thats a long list of strikers...
but Shields is just too fucking boring to risk ''wasting'' one of the last or maybe the last Wand's fight ever...
Uh okay...
Vanderlei does decent against, Franklin x2, Le, and Bisping and he's being "fed" to a guy like Stann? If anything there is a high probability he KO's Stann.
Allow me to clarify my statement. He is being "stylistically" fed to Stann. Wandy is a smash mouth striker. That's who Stann does the best against. They put him against guys that aren't strikers (Sonnen, Bisping) he gets beat, and beat bad. They need him to win so that he can be a contender when they need him to be.
And? So what if he's fighting a striker again? He's an "entertainment" fighter at this point in his career (meaning that he's never going to make another run at the title), so why not give him exciting fights (ones that we know are going to match his style)?
And what's all this about Wandy being "pretty selective about who he fights"? I don't know if you guys are saying that like it's a bad thing or not, but he's fought a lot of the toughest guys in the world (a few who he probably shouldn't have fought!), so I don't know where that's coming from.
Wand is teh ultimate warrior man, him and Leben. Fuckign love them
