Im not going to lie, I found the page for this movie while looking up rich franklin, so whats the deal with it?

Whats it about, is it going to be in theatres, is it soupost to be good or a sci-fi "b" flick?

I guess it's a B-flick and a straight-to-video for that matter. I just wanna see Franklin kick some a$$ in this and from the title 'Weapon', I don't see why he wouldn't.

Yes he is. I don't care who has the title, he is the best middleweight of all time in my opinion. I will be buying a copy for sure. There is another thread that says it goes straight to DVD on Oct. 7.

That is one hell of a hilarious opinion. Anderson Silva is inarguably a stronger MW. Rich is a badass, don't get me wrong, but he is not the best, and to be honest he never was. The UFC just had a very weak MW division for a long time so a guy like Rich who is very good could dominate it until a truly great fighter came along.

based on what? Anderson Silva didn't beat him. He DESTROYED him......TWICE!!! the first time was so bad that Rich needed surgery. How can he be the best when a man completely shuts you down?

Rich got beat both times for sure but if you listen to the interviews of Anderson,he states that in the second fight,even the glancing blows Rich landed on him hurt,once he almost went out.Straight from the mouth of the Champ
Also Silva gives the utmost respect to Rich and says that he was his greatest challenge and the true Champ. Rich didnt hold the belt for a weak division,check his record. In his entire pro career,only 2 men have beaten him . Ones the MW Champ,the other is an undefeated LHW. Rich is an ambassador to the sport and I will support him in anything he does.

Rich is a great fighter I'll give you that but Anderson is on a whole different level. He's got a stronger standup game and a much stronger ground game than Franklin. The Spider saying that Franklin is the true champ or whatever shouldn't surprise anyone because Silva is not only an absolute monster in the cage he's as humble and gracious as can be outside of it.
