Bisping vs Franklin would be a fun fight

With both Michael Bisping and Rich Franklin finishing off their fellow 185 foes in Charles McCarthy and Travis Lutter, respectively, a bout between the two middleweights is a possibility in the future. As both fighters like to strike, and bring an aggressive warrior spirit to each of their bouts, it promises to be an entertaining slugfest. I'd love to see this battle go down, but the UFC may be looking to get Bisping a couple wins under his belt to go after the middleweight strap. In a division where there's not a whole bunch of contenders for the title, one could argue it would not make sense to have Franklin potentially pick off a potential contender. As long as Silva is champion, Franklin is sort of in limbo in terms of getting a title shot. With 2 losses to Silva via KO, Franklin will likely have to wait until someone dethrones the Brazilian before getting a crack at the belt.
