of UFC fighter, Rich Franklin.Franklin dropped a close, three round split decision to Dan Henderson last weekend. I haven't seen the fight (I'll do that later tonight), but it sounds similar to GSP v. Penn insofar as takedowns and wrestling edged out striking and a relatively threat-free guard.
Apparently, Rich will be okay. As he says in this post-fight interview - and I concur - the eye does heal very fast once given a chance to do so. And there's been an argument that in losing Rich will get to avoid both another stint on The Ultimate Fighter (which he was reportedly not looking forward to) and a return to the 185 division.
