Two of the most reliable and experienced fighters on the UFC roster will hold a rematch tomorrow night (June 23, 2012) as former Pride 205 pound champion Wanderlei Silva battles former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin in the main event of UFC 147 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Silva is one of the biggest legends of the sport. He staved off retirement pressure with a thrilling second round knockout of Cung Le at UFC 137 last year. He recently coached against Vitor Belfort in the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil but after "The Phenom" broke his hand in training, he'll instead look to avenge a 2009 loss to Franklin.
Franklin has been dealing with a plethora of injury issues which have kept him out of the Octagon for nearly 17 months. He last fought Forrest Griffin at 205 pounds, getting manhandled by the larger fighter. He was planning to take on Cung Le at UFC 148 but instead accepted a return bout against Silva on shorter notice.
Will "The Axe Murder" earn his revenge against Franklin? Can "Ace" pull out a victory in severe hostile territory? What's the key to victory for both men tomorrow night? Who do you think will win the match? Feel free to leave your comment or share your Prediction.
Update
Rich Franklin faced former Pride 205-pound titleholder Wanderlei Silva in a 190-pound catchweight bout Saturday in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, showing why no one should be quick to write him off as a legitimate middleweight contender -- when the former UFC champion returns to that weight.
The 37-year-old Franklin used a stiff right jab and constant footwork to register a unanimous decision over a game, but outclassed Wanderlei Silva.
All three judges scored the fight, 49-46
