I like the idea of a Le rematch

Don't see why he should rematch Lyoto.
Bisping, Belcher and Muñoz all seem like reasonable opponents for Rich though.
I don't think Rich would beat any of them at this point in his career, but they're at least interesting fights.

Personally, I'd love to see a fight against Bisping, but I think they'll protect "The Count" for title contention. Would be a good fight.
Hendo would be cool to see, but I'm surprised nobody's floated Shogun out there. I guess it depends if he wants to go out at 185 or 205.
If he goes for 185, I think someone along the lines of a Munoz, Kennedy or Rockhold would serve.
While we're on the subject, check out an old interview I did with Rich back in the day. Probably the best interview I ever had.

Or perhaps the UFC will try to use Franklin's name to try to build another younger fighter's name one last time.
Uriah Hall comes to mind.
