Looks like there is another possible UFC fighter on the verge of retirement. Rich Franklin a very well respected, and liked fighter, looks to be in that group. The 34 year old former middleweight champion, just signed a six fight contract, that he is saying could possibly be his last contract.
Franklin mentions in an interview with MMA Junkie, that he was hoping for some time off, and really misses being home with the family, and not being on the road. Well looks like he is getting barely any time, with the now announced UFC 103 rematch main event fight with Dan Henderson. Franklin says that he was not the one that asked for this fight, but was asked from the UFC to take part in it.
Rich says he really doesn't see his age as a problem right now, feeling no problems yet and moving and training like regular. Let's just hope his last couple of fights are really something.
