Former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin on Wednesday underwent
surgery to repair a torn labrum, and his camp has deemed the procedure a
“complete success.”
According to a release today issued by Franklin’s manager, J.T. Stewart,
Franklin is expected to make a complete recovery from the procedure.
“I spoke with Rich; he’s feeling great, and as soon as the doctor gives
him the go-ahead, he’s ready to start training again,” Stewart stated in
the release. “If everything goes as expected, UFC fans could see Rich
Franklin back in the octagon in late summer.”
