Who would have won: Rich Franklin or Ryan Bader?

Ryan Bader would have won. Franklin had problems with big LHWs, see the Forrest Griffin fight only Bader is a better wrestler, has more KO power and has better striking than Forrest.
Humm. I have not followed Bader in a while but the Forrest fight did immediately come to my mind. Perhaps Franklin was caught off guard but he was repeatedly taken down and controlled surprisingly easy through the fight.

I don't know if Bader is better on the feet although he is without a doubt the heaviest hitter.
