Travis Lutter is a ground game fighter and a Jui-Jitsu specialist. His game is fairly ‘one-trick’, but he is certainly lethal once he gets his opponent on the ground. He is not a fighter to be underestimated even when outclassed.
Rich Franklin is one of the most well-rounded fighters in the division, has excellent striking ability, excellent defense, and incredibly sound physical conditioning.
FIGHT ANALYSIS: Travis Lutter has one chance to pull this fight home, his ground game. He will try and try and try again to get Rich Franklin on the ground for a submission. But Rich has been around for awhile and has seen a lot of fighters much better than Lutter try to take him down. This fight is simple…. FRANKLIN BY TKO.

Lutter is tougher than people give him credit for. It’s possible he wins this by submission. However, I think Franklin is going to kick his ass TKO-style.

What a fight! TKO by Franklin, just as I expected! Lutter had Franklin a couple times and even had a lock on the armbar, but Franklin spun out and dominated the rest of the fight with flurries of fists, leg kicks, and knees. Outstanding fight!
