So UFC 103 will be held at Dallas, Texas on September 19 at the American Airlines Center, UFC is returning to Texas since UFC 69. So we have heard of some matches that were going to be included in the event like the no 1 contender match for the welterweight title between Swick and Kampmann, but weren't informed of a headliner.
Well the wait is over and the headliner is announced. At UFC 103 Rich Franklin Vs Dan Henderson II will take place. At their last match Henderson was the one victorious in a split descion. No clarification has been made at what weight the fighters will battle at, but nonetheless its still a great announcement.
Franklin has been in the MMA News recently due to a contract. There have been rumors going around that he was going to take part at UFC 103, due to only having one fight left in his contract. So he is looking to make a deal with Dana White, before his next fight, but since this fight has been announced look like something was worked out. This is a fight Franklin has been hoping for, ever since his controversial split descion loss.
Henderson on the other side is not to excited about the match. He thinks that he deserves another shot at Anderson Silva's title, but that won't happen due to Anderson's fight against Forrest Griffin. So Henderson is coming off a K-O victory over Michael Bisping and looks for a win off Franklin, and then after that it is very possible for a shot at the title.
Plus the return of Cro Cop will happen, and he will be set to battle Junior Dos Santos.
