Trash talk isn't needed to hype up all fights. You've got the perfect case at the main event of UFC 93 where Dan Henderson isn't very menacing when he's trying to smack about an opponent and Rich Franklin is way too laid back to do anything but laugh it off. Franklin channeled his inner comedian during this little exchange on the Countdown to UFC 93 show:

Henderson commented, "If he for some reason is beating me up on my feet, I'm going to take him down and beat the (expletive) out of him."

"He said (expletive)? That's just mean," said Franklin. "I'm picturing myself laying in the middle of an Octagon in a pile of my (expletive) right now. That's unsightly."

Franklin was also a smartass when Henderson said his game had more dimensions:

"He's known for his striking, standup and decent on ground and pound but that's about it," said Henderson. "I have more dimensions as an MMA fighter."

"How many more dimensions did he say? Was it like three more dimensions ... cause that's a lot of dimensions," quipped Franklin.

UFC 93 is a week away so the Countdown show must be on tap for Spike this week. Not so fast. For some reason, the UFC does not have the Countdown show on the television network. Now that doesn't mean that the UFC could care less about the event, there is a Countdown to UFC 93 and it's available anytime on UFC.com.

It's actually very entertaining. Sometimes we get a little too wrapped up in recent developments and forget just how many people wanted to see Franklin and Henderson fight three years ago. The show kind of sets us straight on just how good these guys have been over the years. They're meeting now having lost a few fights recently (by the way, all title shots or defenses). Franklin's striking coach Matt Hume comes down hard on the boxing ability of Henderson saying he's not a world class striker.
