Rich Franklin to Resign with the UFC

Former 185lb UFC Champion Rich Franklin will resign with the UFC.  The former champions contract expired after his second consecutive loss to Anderson Sylva.  Rich Franklin has a professional MMA record that stands at 22-3 with 20 stoppages.  Franklin holds wins over Evan Tanner and Ken Shamrock.  Rumors of Franklin’s possible retirement seem to have been unfounded.  Source: Fox SportsÂ
