- Rich Franklin is apparently leaving his place amongst the light-heavyweights and heading back down to the middleweight division he once ruled over for a chance to fight former Strikeforce champion, Cung Le.
UFC officials took to their official twitter yesterday evening with the announcement.
UFC 148 is expected to go down on July 7 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV.
Rich Franklin comes back to the middleweight division after not seeing the inside of a cage in over a year. He last fought in February of 2011 in a losing effort to Forrest Griffin. Injuries have plagued the former middleweight champions return. Only one man has stopped Franklin at middleweight and that is current champion, Anderson Silva.
Cung Le will look for his first UFC victory when he steps across from the Cincinnati native that is Rich “Ace” Franklin. Source Should be a damn good fight... but its a tough one to call for me... | |

| Franklin wins this one easily.
If not, he retires during the post fight interview. | |

| This fight interests me, I don't know if I'll ppv it but I will watch it.
I'm a die hard Franklin fan so it is gonna be great watching Franklin go out on a high note beating the crap out of a highly over-rated wanna be movie star failure.
(oh btw I'm not a Le fan at all) | |

| Franklin back at 185 is where he belongs. He's too small for lightheavy, and that 195 shit was going nowhere. He's gonna work Cung, especially with Le's questionable cardio. | |
