| abstract | - Rich Franklin:"You should drop to one knee at the start of the fight." "Don't sorry me. Don't do that shit." - Rich arguing with Jorge Gurgel on the second season. "As soon as I hit him I saw his eyes roll and his body went completely limp, so I knew that there was no necessity for me to follow up at that point." - Rich on knocking out Nate Quarry. "I'm being recognized by men that are sixty years old and young girls that are nine years old -- and everything in between. The sport appeals to a wide range of fans." - Rich. "He has more dimensions than I do? How many? Like, three? Cuz that's a lot of dimensions." - Rich Franklin. "I'd fight him. The thing about a Machida fight that isn't appealing to me is that stylistically, Machida is kind of a boring fighter. That's not a putdown. He's very, very effective. He's good at what he does. He's constantly backing away and forces his opponent into mistakes, and that's how he catches you. In order to beat him, you really have to fight an intelligent fight, and I think that by not overcommitting yourself on things, it's going to create a situation where you're not putting on a fight that's really exciting for the fans." - Rich Franklin on a potential rematch with Lyoto Machida.
