Rich Franklin in Las Vegas to discuss new UFC deal, UFC 103 slot still likely
Veteran UFC fighter Rich Franklin in currently in Las Vegas for a one-on-one meeting with UFC president Dana White to discuss a new deal with the organization, the Dayton Daily News has learned.
Franklin, a former UFC middleweight champion and West Chester Twp. resident, made the move to light heavyweight in 2008 and is 2-1 since then. The lone loss came to Dan Henderson via close split decision in January. (Most recently he scored a decision victory over Wanderlei Silva, though the fight took place at a catch-weight of 195 pounds).
Franklin (25-4) has one fight remaining on his current deal, and a new contract needs to be in place befor his next fight. A source close to the organization said that next fight will likely come at UFC 103, which takes place Sept. 19 in Dallas, possibly as a main event.
White recently confirmed a heavyweight bout between Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (25-6-2) and Junior Dos Santos (8-1) is also slated for UFC 103. While the bout is arguably headline-worthy, a proven main-event draw such as Franklin could certainly bolster the card, which is the UFC’s first ever in Dallas.
No potential opponent has been determined for Franklin, but Luis Cane (10-1) is about the only top-level UFC light heavyweight who hasn’t recently fought or already been scheduled for a future bout. Additionally, Cane has done a few recent interviews in which he stated he’d welcome the bout.
Assuming a new deal is reached, it could be the final one of Franklin’s career. The 34-year-old isn’t sure when he’ll retire, but he said he wants to go out sooner rather than later.

Rich is a good represenetive of the cincy area however he is done and needs to realize it the way dana whaite and the reast of the ufc seesit.
