    Cung Le vs. Rich Franklin Likely for UFC on FUEL 6 in Macau

    http://www.cagepotato.com/cung-le-vs...el-6-in-macau/

    As long as Cung Le is healthy enough to compete, the UFC will pair the middleweight striker against former champ Rich Franklin at UFC on FUEL 6, the promotion’s November 10th China debut at the CotaiArena in Macau. UFC president Dana White revealed the booking plan yesterday in Calgary. Both fighters are coming off of decision wins in recent fights, with Le shutting out Patrick Cote at UFC 148, and Franklin out-slugging Wanderlei Silva in the main event of UFC 147.

    The Vietnamese-born Le came out of his last victory with a “pretty banged up [knee],” which is keeping him out of the gym for four-to-six weeks, but he’s expected to be ready by the November date. No word yet on if the fight would take place at middleweight or at a catchweight; Franklin hasn’t competed at 185 since April 2008.

    Speaking of middleweights, Dana White also teased some “crazy shit” he’s planning for the middleweight division, which has some speculating about a 185-pound tournament. Those plans will be finalized and announced after the Hector Lombard vs. Tim Boetsch scrap this weekend at UFC 149, which will help solidify the UFC’s middleweight contender picture.

    That could work too, but Sonnen hasnt decided if he is staying at MW or moving to LHW yet.

    He was calling Vitor a coward. Time to step up, or is it that Sonnen doesn't want to get ?

    The Cung Le that showed up against Cote fights Franklin, Franklin via ko.
    Supporting Clay Guida, Shitty Posting Crew, and Neg Rep trains.

    Silva said he is still upset about how bad he got beat up in the second Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic fight in Pride’s open-weight tournament semi-finals in September 2006. He laughed and said he begged officials not to stop the fight when he was bloodied up because he hadn’t even hit Cro Cop yet.

    If sonnen stays at 185 he would more than likely beat Vitor. He would fight him just like Randy did and grind him out on the ground. I am pretty sure he will get Lombard now. It makes sense after the other night.
    Wiedman should get next title shot and let Boestch fight Belcher for the #1

    Cung is starting to look his age, he's slowed down noticably over the past few years. Gotta go with Rich.

    Its an easy win for Franklin, but he already did an interview implying that he wasn't really interested in fighting Le as it won't bring him closer to a title shot.

    If you ask me, Franklin doesn't want to fight on Fuel and he shouldn't be. He has fought on PPV in every single fight he has had since 2005 and headlined a PPV in his last fight and they want him to fight on Fuel, a channel that NOBODY has or watches?

    Good call. Rich should either be fighting on FOX or PPV only. Maybe they are doing this BC it is his first fight back at 185?

    This. Franklin wants the belt even though I don't see him getting one, he is avoiding FUEL. it's an insult to Franklin and I agree.
