More like two years too late...both guys are reeling from major losses and it would have been interesting when it was supposed to go down back in 06. Or in a Pride ring. I want to see Rampage/Anderson Silvia, or Griffin/Franklin or some other prime fight or have Cro-Cop drop down in weight class and destroy both Lidell (whom I feel was over rated and Rampage exposed the fuck out of that guy) and Wanderlei (whom is still a top tier fighter but not elite anymore) but I understand why they are going with this fight because it's money in the bank and they sure as hell aint getting Fedor/Coture which is an Ace in the pocket for any MMA promotion.

My guess is that Anderson Silva is likely to fight Dan Henderson next. Henderson still holds the PRIDE title for that weight class.
I think Rampage's next fight should be Houston Alexander. He's been impressive. Forrest Griffin should get a rematch against Keith Jardine and the winner of that fight should get the next shot after Alexander.
Franklin will be spending time recovering. Silva broke his nose.
As for Cro Cop dropping 15 lbs to fight at Light Heavyweight, I don't think he'd dominate. Sure Randy Couture did it....but he's Randy Couture. Cro Cop has not impressed me at all since he came to the UFC. To be honest, he's been a bit disappointing to watch.
