Where will a win put Franklin in the light heavyweight title picture?
It means he will get a top 5 fighter in his next fight. Most likely Rampage, Rashad, Forrest or Shogun. Rampage and Forrest will get an immediate title shot if they beat their respective opponents, but Rashad won’t get a rematch that quickly. I think most likely, Franklin will fight Rashad (if he can beat Rampage) or the loser of Machida/Shogun

Similar to what it would mean for pigs to fly. it would be quite a monumental landmark.

It means he is a legitamate light heavyweight contender. A win over Henderson would put Franklins career into drive, but a win for Henderson means nothing. He already beat him split decision. In my opinion it was an obvious unamimous victiory. Henderson has everything to lose and Franklin has everything to gain from this fight. Dana White knows this and that’s the reason why he made this match up so Henderson can’t get another crack at Anderson Silva. In Whites asshole business mind preserving the mystique of Silva means keeping Henderson away at all costs. He was quoted as saying that if Bisping beat Hendo he would fight Silva at 105 in Manchester, but apparently his ass puckered up tighter than a snare drum when Hendo won.
