Uh.. I wouldn't mention Franklin and Salmon in the same breath.
Franklin will be back; Salmon hasn't even got off the boat yet. Don't be fooled by the Rashad / Salmon matchup. Salmon was picked to lose this fight and he did. Sometimes it doesn't work out like the matchmakers plan, e.g. Jason MacDonald and Jake O'Brien, but Salmon didn't appear to be anywhere as good as those two guys. And they were both supposed to lose, too. What does that tell you?
Rashad Evans isn't the light heavyweight champion, Chuck Liddell is. But you might be waiting a long time to see Evans get his ass kicked because I don't believe they're going to have him fight anyone decent until he steps into the octagon against Chuck Liddell.
And why are you looking for white Americans to do something? What's wrong with Cro Cop and Fedor? Edited by: White Shogun

It`s hard to see Silva losing soon, but Rashad has not fought real competition. I don`t see him in Liddell`s or Shogun`s leagueEdited by: paladin

I believe Franklin will come back better than ever. But McDonald is going to be a tough matchup for him. I have mixed feelings about Salmon. The guy looks to have good takedowns, and I have only watched him fight 1 time, but if he's going to be successfull I think he need's to drop down to the 185 division and sharpen up on his striking skills.
