Well hey, look at it from Rich Franklin's side: he doesn't have to drop that last five pounds since the fight is at a 190 pound catchweight (these two refuse to fight each other in a clear weight division) and he doesn't have to deal with any spinning s*** from Cung Le at UFC 148. Granted he will probably receive death threats from the beautiful Brazilian fans of Wanderlei Silva, but it seems like a fair trade off.

So now we have five potential rounds of Wand Vs. Rich II headlining the Brazilian TUF finals and leaving us all kinds of lukewarm. There hasn't been this much apathy out of an entertainment product taking place in Brazil since Max Payne 3 was released. Oh well, like many cards that we usually don't find all that appealing at first, more than likely this will be a fantastic night of fights due to the Brazilian crowd alone.

Here is Wand referring to himself in the third person on Twitter about the new matchup.

This might as well make this an FX card.

As long as there's a thing called the Internet I won't be complaining about fight cards.

Add a "within five-to-twelve pounds" allowance, and I've found a new home!

the 12 pounds allowance applies to any weight class, just making it rumble weight.

170 + 12 or so = Rumbleweight

185+ 12ish = Super-rumblewei ght

Wand should of retired after his last fight, that was a good respectable win, now he's going to have his head caved in, I was so relieved for him when Vitor got hurt, but this is no better.

So tired of everyone crying robbery after every close fight. A robbery is hamill vs bisping. A close, but properly, scored fight is Wandy vs. Franklin. Close fights don't = robberies.

I don't mind this, as the first fight was pretty good.

It is funny, however, that this card is weaker than the FX card the night before.

Debatable. The FX card has more recognisable names, however all of them apart from 3/4 fights are pretty shitty/low-tier at best. Don't judge a card 'till afterwards, if you say otherwise then you're a willy.

I get that line of thinking, but I'm not going to shell out fifty bucks to watch two PPV worthy bouts. Let's not forget that this is just the TUF: Brazil finale. This will be the first UFC I don't order in about six years, as it's completely overshadowed by the FX cards airing just before it an the enormous PPV card only two weeks after it.

I lost interest in your post by the second sentence, maybe it had a valid point but I couldn't muster enough energy to read the rest.

Nike Air Max 2012 is helpful for running and movement. The comfortable design will easily help reduce the impact force.
