Rich "Ace" Franklin has the pleasure of welcoming back the former Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort to the UFC cage this coming weekend at the American Airlines Center in Texas. Coming off a great victory over Wanderlei Silva, Ace has an opportunity to continue is journey up the light heavyweight rankings and work towards a title shot that will allow him the chance to avenge his loss to Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida. Personally, I see Rich going into this fight with the same strategy as his last two fights against Henderson and Silva. He will have to use his superior striking ability and conditioning to avoid the clinch and takedowns. If Rich can also dodge all of Vitor's haymakers, this should be a very one sided match. I have no doubt Ace will come up on top this Saturday.
The rest of the fight card will also include some big name fighters like Mirko Cro Cop, Martin Kampmann, Tyson Griffin, as well as mark the return of Frank Trigg back to the Octogon. This fight card makes up for the weak card Joe Silva and the UFC put together for UFC 102.
This is a must see! Don't miss it.
