While Martin and Okamoto favor Franklin, both do so with an unsteady hand as they feel a great level of consternation in counting out Cung Le.

The MMA Weekly contributor is quick to point out that the Strikeforce import can find success with his unorthodox striking, as he has did in the first round of his bout with Wanderlei Silva. However, Martin does feel that “Ace” is the more well-rounded fighter and will take the bout on that merit. However, the positives swing far to the side of Rich Franklin, as Okamoto feels he can use his jab and superior movement take a decision.

Curiously absent from both men’s arguments is the fact that Cung tends to get tired around the eight-minute mark, giving Franklin the biggest advantage of all between the two. Rich should take home a win, but his opponent may very well “make it a fight” in the most literal sense.
