Mailbag: Liddell vs. Franklin,sports news.

Keith, if he loses to Liddell – a 41-year-old Liddell, I might add – he couldn’t remotely be considered a title contender in a division that also includes Mauricio “Shogun” Rua as the champion and the likes of Rashad Evans, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Lyoto Machida, among many others. Not all fighters are title contenders, though. Franklin seems to me at this stage to fall into a space similar to Wanderlei Silva.
